Femap 2021.2 - Faceted Geometry Support and Body Mesher Technology

With this release, Femap adds support for convergent modeling, allowing users to import/export, edit, and mesh geometry composed of triangular facets alongside more traditional Parasolid boundary (B-Rep) geometry. The ability to mesh faceted geometry in Femap is possible thanks to the new Body Mesher Technology, which leverages remeshing capabilities from STAR-CCM to generate high-quality meshes on complex surfaces that would be challenging and tedious to mesh with traditional workflows. Mesh quality is the primary goal of Body Meshing, and geometry simplification and idealization are not required. Nodes and elements are associated only with points, curves, and surfaces selected by the user or with existing boundary conditions, so it is important to create loads, constraints, and regions in advance.
