eBook: Comparison Charts for Structural FEA Simulation Software

Finite element analysis (FEA) software helps engineers learn about the structure of their products faster than any prototype.


Finite element analysis (FEA) software helps engineers learn about the structure of their products faster than any prototype.

However, some structural simulation tools may not be able to perform the assessments you need for current or future products.

Selecting the right software for your design team is key when limiting the bottom-line and software library.

This 35-slide eBook contains:

  • Capability comparison charts with products from 16 vendors
  • A list of things to consider when looking for CAE Software
  • Discussions of structural simulation trends including:
    • Composites
    • Cloud computing
    • HPC
    • Topology optimization
    • Democratization
    • Advanced meshing
