Calculation of structures, machine parts and mechanisms
Calculation of structures, machine parts and mechanisms
The APM WinMachine Structural package (previously called APM StructFEM) allows you to analyze the stress-strain state (using the finite element method) of three-dimensional objects of any complexity under arbitrary fastening, static or dynamic (force or temperature) loading.
Finite element analysis tools allow you to prepare a structural model for analysis using rod (beam), plate and solid finite elements. The finite element mesh can be generated automatically or manually. In this case, the initial geometry can be obtained from third-party CAD systems by importing files in STEP and SAT formats.
The product also includes a specialized calculation module for analyzing connections in structures. This allows, having received information about the loading of the joint, to select its optimal characteristics, for example, the minimum required diameters and the number of bolts or rivets, leg and length of the weld, etc.
APM WinMachine Structural is intended for use in the following areas: automotive, nuclear, oil and gas, heavy and material handling engineering, railway transport, education (training university students with technical specialties), etc.
In addition, in addition to the basic capabilities of the product, additional functionality (options) is available :
- Thermo: calculation of unsteady thermal conductivity;
- Non-linear: non-linear calculations;
- Composite : calculation of structures made of composite materials;
