Femap API & Automation Training

Automate repetitive simulation tasks and work more efficiently with Femap.

 

A hands-on, face-to-face workshop for Femap users who want to move beyond manual workflows and start automating modelling, analysis and results processing with the Femap API.

Still repeating the same Femap tasks manually?

Simulation engineers spend significant time on repetitive modelling, loading, analysis, and post-processing tasks. The Femap APIs allow you to automate many of these actions and create workflows tailored to your own way of working.

With the right API knowledge, you can:

  • Automate repetitive modelling tasks
  • Reduce manual data handling
  • Make simulation workflows more consistent
  • Process and compare results automatically
  • Build tools around your team’s specific workflow
  • Spend less time on repetitive operations and more time on engineering

This workshop takes you from API basics to practical Femap automation by building real workflows step by step.

 

 

What will you learn?

What is API?

Basics to API

Session 1: Surface + Mesh

Build the foundation of a Femap model through the API.

  • Create points
  • Create curves
  • Create surfaces
  • Create materials
  • Create properties
  • Create a mesh

 

Session 2: Load and Constraints

Automate the setup and execution of an analysis.

  • Create constraint sets
  • Create constraint definitions
  • Create constraints
  • Create load sets
  • Create load definitions
  • Create loads
  • Create analysis sets
  • Run the analysis

 

 

 

Session 3: Results (Every result out of Femap, what Nastran shows)

Turn simulation results into useful data.

  • Create a results browsing object
  • Read results into arrays
  • Compare arrays to find maximum values
  • Calculate safety factors
  • Store safety factors in Femap
  • Use envelope methods to identify maximum values

 

Session 4: Toolbar + Preferences (How to use the Femap Tools)

Adapt Femap to your own workflow.

  • Work with Femap tools
  • Create a custom toolbar
  • Build tools around your repetitive tasks

The training can be extended depending on your team’s needs, including more advanced API programming and custom automation workflows.
