All users of stand-alone FEA (finite element analysis) products, including Algor, CosmosDesignStar and Ansys DesignSpace can get a Femap software upgrade from UGS PLM Software, now part of Siemens Automation and Drives.
The company says that users will get a credit for part of their existing investment, seat for seat, against the cost of purchasing Femap with UGS NX Nastran – which, it claims, will potentially result in savings of up to 75% on the software purchase.
Transitioning to the Femap advanced engineering analysis environment, which is CAD and solver neutral, provides users with access to extended simulation functionality not limited by process wizards. And users also get to harness the NX Nastran solver.
“With Femap, I can make choices that other software forces upon the user, and because I can control the execution of analysis step-by-step, I analyse what I need and not what the software wants,” comments Gianluca Camparini, structural design manager at MDT Mc Drill Technology. “While very intuitive, Femap with NX Nastran has proved to be the most effective solution.”
