FEM-Design helps engineers worldwide to get full control over their structural analysis.
FEM-Design is advanced modeling software for finite element analysis and design of load-bearing concrete, steel, timber and foundation structures according to Eurocode with NA. The unique user-friendly working environment is based on the familiar CAD tools that make the model creation and structure editing simple and intuitive. The quick and easy nature of FEM-Design makes it ideal for all types of construction tasks from single element design to global stability analysis of large structures and makes it the best practical tool for structural engineers.

FEM-Design Applications
FEM-Design can be purchased as one of a few applications that different from each other by the scope of design and analysis possibilities.
Application |
The scope of design and analysis |
|
|
FEM-Design 3D Structure
|
Complete structural analysis and design of complex structures containing a combination of materials and element types, including shell elements, slabs, walls, bars, beams, and columns with arbitrary loads. Static-, dynamic- and seismic analysis can be performed as well as solving global stability problems. Buckling phenomena and concrete cracking are accounted for. |
 |
|
FEM-Design Frame
|
Three-dimensional frame and truss structures are easily modeled, analyzed and designed in FEM-Design. Common structures can be generated along with loads in a few simple steps using the parametric input wizard. The section editor allows complex arbitrary section shapes (opened or closed) to be created for bars, beams, and columns. |
 |
|
FEM-Design Steel Joint
|
Total of 51 solutions and 7 types (according to the Swedish Institute of Steel Construction). Use predefined solutions and design the connection using a bolt and/or welds. Define the load and steel sections in the stand-alone version, or get automatic import of the geometry and load combination results from FEM-Design 3D model. |
 |
|
FEM-Design Plate
|
Concrete slabs or other two-dimensional transversely loaded structures can be analyzed. Reinforced concrete is designed according to code, accounting for cracked section analysis, shrinkage and creep considering applied reinforcement. Required reinforcement is calculated for the ultimate limit state, and applied reinforcement can be used for checking deflections and/or crack width. |
 |
|
FEM-Design Wall
|
FEM-Design offers design solutions for plane stress problems, such as shear and load-bearing walls as well as for other kinds of structural elements such as webs of deep beams or steel plates. |
