Field Precision Announces FE BUILDER 3D
Due to ship in October
 ALBUQUERQUE,
NM, Jun 17, 2009 - Field Precision announced a release date for FE BUILDER
3D, a utility for finite-element software developers. The package includes a
conformal hexahedron mesh generator and a fully customizable postprocessor
with advanced visualization capabilities.
Finite-element methods have extensive applications in areas such as
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics research, fluid
dynamics and bioengineering. In recent years, two factors have made it
feasible for researchers to create their own finite-element programs:
-
General availability of
high-power personal computers.
-
Growing numbers of
textbooks and the introduction of finite-element methods in university
curricula.
-
While the methods are
straightforward to implement for a wide variety of physical problems,
researchers and students face two obstacles to their implementation:
-
Creation of quality
conformal meshes for arbitrary application geometries (mesh generation).
-
Efficient analysis of a
large amount of numerical output data (post processing).
Creating user programs to accomplish these tasks could involve man-years
of effort. Commercially-available mesh generators are expensive and are
often inflexible and proprietary.
FE BUILDER 3D solves both problems, allowing developers to concentrate
their attention on finite-element solutions. The efficient, low-cost package
includes a solid-modeling graphical environment, an automatic conformal mesh
generator, reference material documenting mathematical operations on
hexahedrons and a fully-customizable postprocessor.
Package features include the following:
-
Import capability for
complex parts from SolidWorks and other 3D CAD programs.
-
Option to run programs from
the command prompt, allowing batch file or script control of complex
calculations.
-
Simple and well documented
file formats (binary or text).
-
Unique technology to
generate conformal hexahedron elements on a structured mesh, decreasing
the development time and increasing the speed of user programs.
-
Dynamic memory allocation
for huge meshes.
-
Neutral mesh format that
applies to any physical solution.
-
Wide variety of 2D and 3D
plots based on user-defined quantities.
-
Interactive analysis
features allow quick and accurate exploration of the solution space.
-
Versions available for 32
and 64-bit Windows.
FE BUILDER 3D is a powerful tool for researchers building one-of-a-kind
programs for advanced applications. It is also well-suited for the sale and
distribution of packages over the Internet. The mesh generator and
postprocessor executables may be included for a nominal license fee. They
feature machine-specific copy protection to help developers control
distribution of their work. FE BUILDER 3D is scheduled for release in
October 2009. Free trial downloads will be available at that time.
