Over the past 20 years, FEMPRO was developed as a primary component of
ALGOR's complete finite element modeling and analysis software
system.
"MSC's multidiscipline SimDesigner Enterprise and gateways to its MD
Nastran and Marc solutions provides an analysis environment for design
engineers in companies using CATIA. "This enables model reuse and
data interoperability between design and analysis, allowing CAE specialists to
focus on larger, more complicated analysis problems.

This method places the most
accurate elements on the surface of the model where results are the highest
