API for FEM-Design
FEM-Design comes with an Application Programming Interface (API) that can be used for parametric design and task automation. The API is based on the extensible mark-up language (XML) and allows you to communicate and command FEM-Design to create your own custom workflows.
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.
