Due to its modular design Femap with NX Nastran provides customized CAE-solutions for the most different requirements.

Femap with NX Nastran: Basic includes FEMAP plus the most important analysis modules for linear and non-linear statics, natural frequencies and mode shapes as well as steady-state and transient heat transfer. The Stress Wizard was developed especially for the dsign engineer and the less experienced CAE-engineer. As FEM-assistant, the Stress Wizard guides the user from the data transfer via automeshing and definition of boundary conditions to the start of the analysis and the preparation of the analysis results.

Dependent on the customer’s requirements Femap with NX Nastran: Basic can be extended by specialty modules:

• Dynamic Response for the simulation of forced vibrations
• Rotordynamics for the analysis of critical speed
• For the handling of high non-linearities ADINA has been incorporated as Advanced Nonlinear Solver
• Parameters such as e. g. shell thickness and beam cross-sections can be optimized with Optimization
• FAT4FEM and winLIFE for fatigue analyses
• Structural Analysis Toolkit assists the engineer with the data interpretation and allows for the postprocessing of simulation results
• Aeroelasticity, Superelements and DMAP for special requirements

In view of the plausible user guidance and the optimal price-performance ratio Femap with NX Nastran presents a most efficient tool for design and CAE-engineers active in the field of structural mechanics.
