OTHER CAPABILITIES
Connection with SAP 2000 and FLAC 3D
Automatic import of a SAP2000 finite element model into CivilFEM.
Automatic export-import of a CivilFEM model into FLAC3D.
This connection is established at preprocessing level, with
the possibility of exporting CivilFEM's model to FLAC3D, and at postprocessing level by means of importing to CivilFEM the structural element forces
calculated by FLAC.
The model generation is easier and faster with the integration
(materials, geometry and meshing).
Solution of CivilFEM models makes
use of FLAC3D's powerful features for soil and rock analysis (material behavior
laws, explicit solver, special geotechnical elements, porous media, etc)
Postprocessing of FLAC structural elements with CivilFEM (reinforcement
design, checking, etc).
Cad integration
Using ANSYS capabilities, a large number of CAD formats are supported
including SAT, Parasolid & IGES and native files: CATIA, Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer, etc.
Import geometry from DXF file (New).
Import terrain surfaces from LiDAR ASCII_GRID (SIG)
files.
Import a geometry in DXF as complex as you want
Import terrain surfaces from LiDAR ASCII_GRID (SIG) files.
Advanced tools
Design sensitivity analysis.
Design optimization analysis.
ANSYS parametric design language (APDL).
- Define geometry
in terms of variables.
- Trigonometric functions.
- Do-loop feature.
- If-then-else constructs.

Session log.
- Record in a file (log file) of all the commands executed by the program
during a job.
- Repeat the session by reading a file (log file) that can be
modified by the user.
- Document a job session.
UPF's (User programmable features).
