FEM-Software
Basic Versions
MEANS V14 WORKS for 499 €
FEM-System with linear statics calculations with linear and quadratic 3D beams, 2D planes and plates, axialsym. 2D, 3D shells and 3D-solid elements (hexahedron, pentahedron, tetrahedron). Nodal loads, line loads, distributed loads, centrifugal loads, gravitation and temperature loads, FEM-Structures with different materials, 2D/3D mesh generation with a CAD-Interface DXF, STL, STEP and IGES. Quick FE-Solver until 499 000 nodes and 499 000 elements with all element typs.
Also it is possible to repair faulty FEM meshes or CAD-Assemblies (because profiles are too thin, there unconnected parts or there are no weld seams) with a fully automatic Solid-Beam-Contact for all basic versions (Sample-Video).
MEANS V14 INVENT for 999 €
same functions as MEANS V14 WORKS plus Add-On module FORMOPTIMIZATION with until 999 000 nodes and 999 000 elements.
MEANS V14 HIGH END for 2490 €
same functions as MEANS V14 INVENT with unlimited nodes and elements.
Add-Ons
Add-On module DYNAMIC for 350 €
Calculations of Eigenvalues, natural frequencies with characteristic modal forms.
Add-On module FORM OPTIMIZATION for 350 €
A new fast Form Optimization of MEANS V14 for 2D and 3D structures with stop-and-run functions. This enables
up to 80% material savings and design improvements.
Add-On module BUCKLING for 350 €
Calculate the critical buckling loads with the buckling modes shapes.
Add-On module FLOWDXF for 350 €
Add-On module TEMPERATURE for 350 €
Temperature analysis for steady and transient temperature field calculation with convection, point-, surface- and 3d heat sources.
Add-On module NONLINEAR, CONTACT and DROP_TEST for 800 €
Calculation of Rolling Contact Pressure (Hertz contact problems) of train and rail systems or ball and roller bearings or other contact problems like bolted or clamped parts sittings. Also included MPC elements to connect structures with different mesh sizes or to calculate with different material datas. Geometrically nonlinear and with load increments for large deformations. FEM-Calculations for plastic deformations with a Stress-Strain-Database. Also it is possible to calculate simplified Drop Test with a impact factor and gravitation load.
Add-On module REPAIR-FEM for 350 €
With a SOLID-BEAM contact analysis, faulty FEM meshes can be repaired and still simulated plausibly. The laborious FEM work was not in vain. INP meshes from Freecad, Calculix or Abaqus can be imported and further processed. (The price for Repair-FEM is halved if other additional modules are ordered)
