ANSYS Conference
Combining the strengths of ANSYS
Workbench and ANSYS/CivilFEM
Solution
Develop more accurate structural analysis models
Develop automated analyses to save design time
Perform what if and design optimization tasks to create more
effective use of construction materials
Use the strengths of ANSYS Workbench and CivilFEM to achieve
these goals

What is CivilFEM?
CivilFEM is an integrated Pre- and Postprocessor to traditional ANSYS developed by
ANSYSs Spain distributor INGECIBER
CAE Associates
CAE Associates is one of the original ANSYS
channel partners and a CivilFEM channel partner
with unique expertise in Civil Engineering
ANSYS CivilFEM:
Ease of use
Geometry manipulation
Graphics speed
CAD integration and
associativity
Robust meshing
Loads, BC application
Automatic assembly
and contact generation.
Uses ANSYS for
solution.
Automated Complex
analyses
Complex loading
Material Models
Specialized Postprocessing capabilities
Driven interactively or
with batch/input scripts
Uses ANSYS for
solution.
