APM FEM
The system of strength analysis APM FEM for KOMPAS-3D
APM FEM is a strength analysis system designed to work in the interface of the Russian CAD system KOMPAS-3D.
The main purpose of the system is to enable the designer, already at the initial stages of design, to make correct and well-grounded design decisions using the constructed 3D models. This undoubtedly improves the quality and saves time spent on product development, and therefore makes it competitive!
Typical objects for calculation are parts and assemblies that are small in terms of the ratio of overall dimensions and wall thicknesses: rods, lugs, stops, brackets, corners, levers, body parts, supporting elements, etc. For such parts and assemblies, it is important to QUICKLY assess the strength of the elements with possible design optimization, using the associative relationship of the geometric and calculation models.
The main steps in the calculation:
- Preparation of a 3D model for strength analysis (geometry simplification);
- Analysis and setting of boundary conditions (loading, fixing);
- Automatic generation of a finite element mesh on a 3D model;
- Selecting the required type of calculation and setting its parameters;
- Calculation;
- Viewing the results obtained and analyzing the values ​​of the main design characteristics (stresses, safety factors, displacements, etc.);
- Modification of the model based on the results of the calculations (change of geometry / material);
- Re-performing the computational analysis to confirm the performance of the product.
- Calculation of surface models (shells) This
option allows you to calculate surface models created in KOMPAS-3D. In this case, meshes of lamellar finite elements are used. - Topological optimization This
option allows you to carry out a design calculation in order to determine the optimal distribution of material to improve the mass-stiffness characteristics of the product

Working documentation
The section contains the current documentation for the operation of APM FEM:
The minimum system requirements for APM FEM work meet the requirements of KOMPAS-3D.
KOMPAS-3D is intended for use on personal computers such as IBM PC running Russian-language (localized) or correctly Russified operating systems:
- MS Windows 10,
- MS Windows 8.1,
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later must be installed on the computer.
A prerequisite for the operability of KOMPAS-3D and configurations is the support by the central processor of instructions not lower than SSE2.
For other parameters, the minimum possible computer configuration for installing and running KOMPAS-3D meets the minimum system requirements for the corresponding operating systems.
When installing KOMPAS-3D, keep in mind the following:
- the bitness of the KOMPAS-3D version must correspond to the bitness of the operating system version, that is, 64- or 32-bit KOMPAS-3D can be installed only on a computer with a 64- or 32-bit OS, respectively;
- to work with the 64-bit version of KOMPAS-3D, it is recommended to use a computer with a multi-core processor and at least 8 GB of RAM.
The rest of the hardware requirements for the 32- and 64-bit versions of KOMPAS-3D are the same.
The recommended monitor resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels or more.
APM FEM is a strength analysis system designed to work in the interface of the Russian CAD system KOMPAS-3D.
The main goal of the system is to enable the designer, at the initial stages of design, to make correct and reasonable design decisions using the built 3D models. This undoubtedly improves the quality and saves time spent on product development, and therefore makes it competitive!
Typical objects for calculation are small in terms of the overall dimensions and wall thickness of the part and assembly: thrust, lugs, stops, brackets, angles, levers, body parts, support elements, etc. For such parts and assemblies, it is important to QUICKLY evaluate the strength of the elements with possible optimization of the structure using the associative connection of the geometric and computational models.
