APM Studio FEM

APM Studio is software intended for calculation and design of machine elements, mechanisms and structures as well as general purpose strength analisys by finite element method. APM Studio FEM includes tools of preparation of assemblies for calculations, for setting boundary conditions and loads, and also integrated generators of finite-element mesh (both with fixed, and with variable step) and the postprocessor. This functional set allows to work with solid parts and assemblies which can be designed in KOMPAS-3D software, and to analyze the behaviour of designed model at various influences from the point of view of statics, fundamental frequencies, stability and a thermal loading in APM Studio FEM unit.

Analysis of APM Studio FEM unit allows solving linear problems:

• the intense-deformed state (static calculation);
• static strength of assemblies
• stability;
• thermoelasticity;
• stationary thermal conduction.

Results of calculations are:

• allocation of equivalent stresses and their components, and also principal stresses;
• allocation of linear, angular and total displacements;
• allocation of strains in model components;
• maps and orthographic epures of allocation of internal force;
• allocation of contact force in contact allowed band;
• value of safety factor and the form of loss of stability;
• allocation of safety factors and number of cycles by yardstick of fatigue strength;
• allocation of safety factors by yardsticks of flow and strength;
• allocation of temperature fields and thermotensions;
• co-ordinates of center of gravity, weight, size, length, area of surface, model moments of inertia, and also moments of inertia, the static moments and the squares of cross-sections;
• supporting forces in construction legs, and also the cumulative responses adduced to the center of gravity of the model.

Analisys of KOMPAS-3D models by finite element method is a general purpose of APM Studio FEM
