FEM-Design is advanced modeling software for finite element analysis (FEA) and design of load-bearing concrete, steel, timber and foundation structures according to Eurocode with National Annexes (NA). The unique user-friendly working environment is based on the familiar CAD tools that make the model creation and structure editing simple and intuitive. The quick and easy nature of FEM-Design makes it ideal for all types of construction tasks from single element design to global stability analysis of large structures and makes it the best practical tool for structural engineers.
Benefits of using FEM-Design:
- The structural model is created easily in 3D with intuitive CAD-tools or imported from BIM-software.
- The finite element mesh is generated and optimized automatically.
- The Auto Design feature helps to choose the most efficient cross-section or reinforcement arrangement.
- Resultant and connection forces in shell elements can be easily assessed.
- Results are shown in a variety of 3D-graphs, contour lines, color palettes or sections.
- Auto-updated project reports can be created from within the built-in FEM-Design documentation module.
Multiple applications. FEM-Design can be purchased as one of a few applications that different from each other by the scope of design and analysis possibilities: FEM-Design 3D Structure, FEM-Design Frame, FEM-Design Steel Joint, FEM-Design Plate, FEM-Design Wall.
Multiple modules. FEM-Design is a program that can be build up of several different modules, based on individual preferences and needs. The base of the program is the Analysis module, and the design modules can be added to the program one by one, anytime.
BIM integration. FEM-Design can communicate with two of the most popular modelling programs: Autodesk Revit Structure and Tekla Structures. StruSoft developed a free StruXML Revit Add-In and Tekla StruXML Tools that make the data transfer possible.
Note: The primary way of downloading FEM-Design software is through StruSoft Installer. But If you are a customer with a license that is already setup in the StruSoft Installer, you can download the latest version of the FEM-Design.
About FEM (Finite-Element Method)
The Finite-Element Method (FEM) is a computational method/technique developed by engineers used to obtain an approximate solution to engineering problems. Finite element breaks a complex problem into simpler problem and uses a mathematical glue to join the solutions.
An engineer designing a bridge will need to know how the proposed structure will behave under load. The equations describing the distribution of structural stresses are known but they can’t be directly solved for a complicated shape such as a bridge. However the equations can be solved for very simple shapes like triangles or rectangles. The finite element method takes advantage of this fact. We replace the single complicated shape with an approximately equivalent network of simple elements. The overall pattern of elements is referred to as the finite element mesh. And this pattern will be unique to each new problem. The initial step is to design this mesh. And for this we must first decide what kind of elements will use.
What’s new in version 22:
- Improved the calculations speed.
- New Compare Files function for helping you detect differences between two models.
- Improved the Reinforced Concrete design module.
- Time-dependent analysis: creep, shrinkage and E-modulus models.
- New Simplified Take-Down Results to present the results in a clear and informative way.
- Improved interoperability: smart connections with IDEA StatiCa and Nemetschek Allplan.
