Introducing Simcenter Femap 2021: The next evolution in the high-performance FEA simulation tool
The enhancements in this release are focused on these key areas:
• Mesh Sizing Propagation – reduced geometry cleanup/manipulation, enhanced interactive meshing tools, and more
• Body Mesher / Mesh on Mesh – fewer size restrictions, faster workflows
• Support for MSC Nastran Implicit Nonlinear Analysis (SOL 400) – includes contact conditions, nonlinear materials, property extensions, and solver options with steps for analysis chaining
• Multiple Subcase Dynamic Analysis for Nastran Solvers – use dynamic subcases to specify parameters for transient, frequency, or nonlinear transient response or static subcases for stress stiffening
• Enhanced JT Visualization – visualize model data and review results without opening Simcenter Femap
