Vendor Description: Fedem Free Edition is a limited version of The Fedem Simulation Software R4.2. The Fedem Simulation Software provides both a technology platform and an engineering framework for virtual testing of complex mechanical assemblies with very high result accuracy and an efficient workflow. This is typically required for product verification or virtual sign-off purposes in a professional industrial engineering environment. In such applications, where expensive and time consuming full scale physical testing is the only alternative, it is necessary for the engineers to quickly and easily obtain accurate information on both dynamic and structural properties of a mechanical design. Also, to ensure sufficient accuracy, the simulation solver must account for the mutual dependencies between dynamic properties at the system level and structural flexibility at the component level. These requirements can only be efficiently satisfied through a non-linear structural dynamics approach. In Fedem, a non-linear structural dynamics approach is utilized in order to simultaneously solve structural deformations and 3D motion dynamics in the time domain. Integrated and efficient workflow. Finite element models are imported from NASTRAN bulk data deck files ensuring compatibility with FE meshing tools. Mechanism drive functions can be linked with external data files in MTS RPC III/Pro, nCode DAC or ASCII format. Simulations driven with such external data can be switched from one event to another simply by changing a file reference. Simulation results can be exported in MTS RPC III/Pro, nCode DAC or ASCII format files. Durability assessment with nCode. Multi-event duty cycle analysis. The full version of Fedem is a flexible multibody dynamics package, while the Free Edition leaves out the flexibility options, phone and mail support and a few other options.
