APM FEM is an add-in that designs and calculates machine elements, mechanisms, and structures, and performs general purpose strength analysis using FEM (finite element method). APM FEM includes assembly preparation tools for performing calculations, setting boundary conditions, and specifying loads. An integrated generator of finite-element meshes creates both fixed and variable-size meshes. It also includes post-processor. These functions allow it to work with solid parts and assemblies designed in KOMPAS-3D, and to analyse the behaviour of models when various loads are applied, such as statics, fundamental frequencies, stability, and thermal loading.
APM FEM solves the following linear problems:
Intensely deformed states (static calculations)
Static strengths of assemblies
Stability
Thermoelasticity
Stationary thermal conduction
