    Improvement and Integration of Fem Solution Used For R&D Into Femap

    Uploaded by

    Snezana Vulovic
    This document discusses improving and integrating a finite element method (FEM) solution developed by researchers into FEMAP pre- and post-processing software. The goal is to enable researchers to focus more on scientific investigation by reducing workload from an inadequate user interface in their developed solver. The methodology allows researchers to create models in FEMAP, perform FEM analysis testing new models or methods in their solver, and view results back in FEMAP. Integration is achieved through customizing FEMAP and developing new features in the research solver to automate tasks and make it operate as an integral part of FEMAP.

    IMPROVEMENT AND INTEGRATION OF FEM SOLUTION USED FOR

    R&D INTO FEMAP

    Abstract: This Computer simulation and structure behavior researchers often develop
    their own FEM solution for testing new material models, element types or numerical
    procedures. Improvement and integration of user developed FEM solution into FEMAP
    which is state of the art pre and post-processing software has a purpose to enable
    researchers to focus more on their scientific investigation by reducing tedious workload
    that is result of inadequate UI of user developed solver. Developed methodology
    presented in this paper enables researchers 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 FEMAP and user developed FEM solver is performed by automatic,
    programmatic customization of FEMAP and development of new features in FEM
    solution. These new features automate many tasks in model preparations. As a result,
    FEM solver looks and operates as integral part FEMAP and its functionality is greatly
    improved.

    Key words: computer simulation, finite element method, pre-processing, post-


    processing, software customization
    1. INTRODUCTION
    Computational methods [1] such as Finite Element Method (FEM) [2] in
    particular, are used for stress analysis in many fields of engineering. Wide spread of
    FEM means its taught on many engineering universities as well as used in many
    research institutes. Numerous software companies developed their FEM solutions
    which are widely used by many manufacturing companies. Commercial FEM solvers
    have good pre-processing (geometry modeling and mesh generation) as well as good
    post-processing (visualization of results) [3]. Downside of commercial software is no or
    limited access to program code which hurdle independent researchers in testing
    behavior of new material models, element types or numerical procedures. To have
    advantages of both approaches, we used combination of researcher developed FEM
