Finite Element Method (FEM)
Finite element modeling has an inherent advantage over finite difference modeling (FDM) – the accurate representation of complex geometry. This accuracy is achieved with smaller mesh models which leads to more accurate simulations in less time.
The Difference Is Clear
The accurate representation of geometry in our FEM meshes has a direct impact on the accuracy of the flow pattern. See for yourself.

One Mesh For Everything
Our FEM mesh is multipurpose. You only need to mesh once for all your simulation needs. Perform Stress, Flow and Thermal analysis with the same model; eliminate your reliance on translation tools.
Multi-Component
Quickly mesh multiple components at once from CAD data. Spend less time meshing and more time solving problems.
Advanced Mesh Coarsening
Coarsen the mesh without sacrificing accuracy by ensuring fine layers remain close to the casting and other temperature affecting components. Advanced mesh coarsening results in up to a 75% decrease in model size thereby reducing calculation times fourfold.

Precision
An exact representation of the model geometry is a pre-requisite for accurate simulation. Model precise geometries such as flash, venting, and even jet cool pins with inset cooling lines. Utilize powerful mesh alternation tools for custom mesh creation.
