The most important for me about femap is the profesionallity of the software, really powerful, capable to mesh & simulate any structural problem, not matter the complexity, linear o nonlinear, static or dynamic, is great.
Also critical: the development team is very professional, genius!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Software can be improveb a lot if supporting units natively, actually is user dependent the coherence of system of units, and this can cause serious errors in the accuracy of results obtained Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Shortcuts and tricks for model navigation. Easier than other femap alternative at my company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Learning how to use Femap was challenging. there wasnt much study material when i started using it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
User-Friendly Interface: Simcenter Femap provides a user-friendly interface that allows engineers to efficiently create, analyze, and visualize complex models. The intuitive layout, customizable toolbars, and comprehensive documentation make it easy to navigate and learn the software quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Limited Native CAD Tools: Femap lacks robust native CAD capabilities compared to dedicated CAD software. While it supports importing CAD models, users may need to rely on external CAD software for complex geometry creation and modifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it is very easy to install and use the Femap in basic system. Femap has advanced tools for static, thermal, structure, CFD analysis and much more. It is highly integrated with other Siemens products like Siemens NX and Solid Edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Because it is used in very advanced simulation scenarios it has a comparatively complex and kind of old user interface to work on. Siemens Femap is not very well understood by new comer in the simulation industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
