FEMAP, a pre- and post-processor for FEA, offers an API that can be accessed from Excel (e.g., via VBA) to automate model creation, data input, and results extraction.
FEMAP Excel API (via Siemens Simcenter FEMAP)
- Excel
- Aerospace, Automation, Mechanical Engineering, Simulation, Structural Engineering
- Application Programming Interface (API), Finite Element Method (FEM), Machine Learning, Process Optimization, Project Management, Quality Management, Simulation
Features:
- FEA model automation, data transfer between Excel and FEMAP, custom result processing, parametric studies driven from Excel, report generation, task automation within FEMAP environment
Pricing:
- Paid
- Powerful automation of FEMAP workflows, enables integration of Excel for managing FEA data and parameters, allows custom result analysis and reporting, useful for advanced FEMAP users.
- Requires FEMAP software license and proficiency in FEMAP API and VBA/scripting, not a simple add-in but an API for integration, learning curve for the API.
Best for:
- Advanced FEMAP users and FEA specialists who want to automate complex simulation workflows, manage data, and perform custom result processing by integrating FEMAP with Excel through its API.
