FEMLAB 6.0

FEMLAB is a finite element modeling and simulation platform for engineering and scientific analysis. It streamlines the workflow from geometry setup and meshing to solving and post-processing, helping users prototype, validate, and optimize designs across structural, thermal, fluid, electromagnetic, and coupled multiphysics problems.

Key capabilities:

• Intuitive model setup: Build models from scratch or import geometry; define materials, boundary conditions, and loads with guided tools.
• Flexible meshing: Generate automatic meshes or tailor element types and refinements for accuracy and performance.
• Robust solvers: Handle linear/nonlinear, steady-state, and time-dependent analyses with adaptive algorithms and convergence controls.
• Multiphysics coupling: Combine physics interfaces to capture interactions (e.g., thermo-mechanical, electro-thermal).
• Results visualization: Inspect fields, plots, and animations; extract probes, cutlines, and derived quantities for reports.
• Parametric studies and optimization: Run sweeps, sensitivity analyses, and design studies to explore design space efficiently.
• Interoperability: Import/export common CAD and data formats; integrate with external tools via scripting or APIs.
• Automation and reproducibility: Script workflows, batch runs, and reporting for consistent, scalable studies.

Who it’s for:

• Engineers, researchers, and students who need accurate, physics-based simulations to inform design decisions, reduce prototyping costs, and accelerate R&D.

Typical applications:

• Structural analysis (static/dynamic, modal, fatigue), heat transfer, fluid flow, electromagnetics, and coupled multiphysics scenarios.
