∗ The usage of the software is so easy and user–friendly that it can be mastered just by reviewing the screen demos that are included.
∗ The preprocessing capabilities include powerful mesh generation schemes such as automatic triangulation/tetrahedronization in plane, curved surface and 3–D volume
∗ Structural, heat conduction and seepage analysis
∗ Various analysis options including linear static, nonlinear, dynamic, adaptive, and sequentially staged analysis.
∗ Powerful post processing with various 3–D data visualization and processing tools including contouring, iso–surface rendering, cutting plane settings, and so on.
∗ Frame analysis can be processed in real time so that the structural behaviors can be studied interactively with moving loads, changing geometries or boundary conditions
∗ Computer–based training tools simulating finite element analysis procedures: shape functions, element stiffness computation, equation assembly, equation solvers, eigen value analysis, adaptive analysis process, stress recovery and smoothing
∗ Cross platform software with Windows and Mac OS versions. The data can be exchanged between the two versions
