Femap Version 10.1.1 Released
Siemens PLM Software announced the release of Femap v10.1.1. Femap 10.1.1 is the latest in 30+ ongoing releases of Femap, all from the same core development team. Femap 10.1.1 also includes NX Nastran 7, the latest release of the industry standard finite element solver, fully integrated. Continuing the visualization theme of version 10.1, 10.1.1 adds the ability to control the visibility of individual solids. Version 10.1.1 also adds a new bearing load, with extensive options to support applying radial varying loads directly to FEA models. Entity selection has been enhanced with direct access to polygon picking with a Ctrl+Shift keyboard shortcut, as well as text-based filtering for more efficient selection of titled entities. The Femap team is already hard at work crafting Femap 10.2, and as always, input from our world-wide customer base is greatly appreciated.
Femap Version 10.1
The v10.1 release focuses on new modeling and interactive visualization tools for increased productivity, and continues to promote Nastran integration, particularly for advanced analyses. Femap 10.1 includes Analysis Manager and Boundary Condition Set Manager enhancements. New display options have been added for multiple groups and FE model entities, with all visibility options consolidated into one dialog. Also, graphics database improvements significantly reduce model file sizes for geometry-intensive model, support for global composite plies has been added, and constraint editing and loads and constraints editing and combination have been enhanced.
