Femap Updates

Version 11 of Femap Software has been released.
Femap version 11 is the latest release of the robust finite element modeling pre- and postprocessor for engineering simulation and analysis. Femap works in combination with a wide variety of finite element analysis solvers, including the industry-leading NX Nastran application. The latest version of Femap provides many new features and customer driven enhancements are included in this latest version of Femap.

Benefits
Predict and improve product performance and reliability
Reduce time-consuming and costly physical prototyping and testing
Evaluate different designs and materials
Optimize your designs and reduce material usage
CAD-Independent: works with all major CAD programs, including NX, Catia, Pro/Engineer, Solid Edge, Solid Works, AutoCAD etc.
Solver Neutral: NX Nastran, LS-DYNA, Ansys, Abaqus, TMG etc.
FE models from complex 3D geometry are much easier to create and mesh first time
