Femap[R] v9.3 pre and post processing application for engineering finite element analysis allows applying of loads through data surfaces, as well as bolt preload modeling. Supporting dynamic design analysis method for shock spectrum analysis, dynamics analysis, and fluid modeling, it has capability to include 1D, 2D, and 3D data surfaces. It can also expand geometric surfaces to solids, and allows access to API utilities through customer tools toolbar.

PLANO, Texas - UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced the release of Version 9.3 of Femap[R] software, the finite element analysis (FEA) component of the UGS Velocity Series(TM) portfolio.

Femap Version 9.3 is the latest release of UGS' robust pre and post processor for engineering FEA. Femap is known for its tight integration with Nastran[R], in particular UGS' own NX[R] Nastran solver. This latest version of Femap continues a 20-year history of productivity and functionality improvements aimed directly at dedicated engineers and analysts.

"One of Femap's strengths is its depth of integration with the Nastran solvers," said Bill McClure, vice president, UGS Velocity Series. "This new release serves to significantly increase Femap's support of Nastran functionality as well as expand user interface extensions and enhancements to modeling capabilities."
