IMPROVEMENT AND INTEGRATION OF FEM SOLUTION USED FOR R&D INTO FEMAP

Abstract

Developed methodology presented in this paper enables researches to create analysis CAD model in FEMAP, perform FEM analysis testing new material models, element types or numerical procedures in user developed solver and view results back in FEMAP. Connection between FEMKAP and user developed FEM solver is performed by automatic customization of FEMAP and development of new features in FEM solution. As a result, FEM solver looks and operates as integral part of FEMAP and its functionality is greatly improved.
