API for FEM-Design
The API for FEM-Design is based on the extensible mark-up language (XML) and allows you to communicate and command FEM-Design to create your own custom workflows. The Application Programming Interface (API) can be used for parametric design and task automation to save you a lot of time with your structural design and analysis.
FEM-Design geometry models and commands can be generated using any programming language capable of creating and modifying XML files. Furthermore, we provide ready to use toolboxes for Dynamo and Grasshopper. These toolboxes are released as open-source to allow you to modify them as you please.
