Thickness Plot

Display plate element thicknesses on flat selections such as frames, decks, and longitudinals. Add thickness values and property titles as labels, and adjust the text size and label angles to create clearer plots.

Mass Tuner

Set material mass or density and automatically calculate the corresponding value. Review the resulting mass changes, distribute additional mass evenly across selected materials, and paste mass or density values directly from Excel.

Materials Plot

Create a color-coded plot of material assignments for the full model or a selected group. Label materials by ID or title and adjust the label size to make assignments easier to review.

Plates Thicknesses Plot

Read plate thicknesses from the full model or a selected group and display them in a dedicated plot. Thickness values are divided into groups of up to 16 to keep the colors distinguishable and the plot readable.

Review Model Data More Clearly

Visualize Plate Thicknesses

Display thickness values directly on selected plate elements instead of reviewing individual properties separately.

Review Material Assignments

Use color-coded plots and labels to understand how materials are assigned across the model.

Update Model Mass

Set mass or density values, review the resulting changes, and distribute additional mass across selected materials.

Go Beyond Individual Femap Utilities

Use SDC for Femap when you need more than a single-purpose tool. Work directly with native Simcenter Femap .modfem files and run standards-based checks for strength, fatigue, buckling, welds, and bolts. Use automatic recognition tools, optimize the design based on code-check results, and generate structured reports with plots and tables.

Questions About the Free Femap Tools

Are these Femap tools free?

Yes. All four utilities on this page are available free of charge.

Do I need Simcenter Femap to use them?

Yes. These utilities are designed to work with Simcenter Femap models.

Which Femap versions are supported?

Compatibility differs between the tools. Check the individual tool page for its current Femap version and system requirements.

Are these tools complete FEA solvers?

No. They are focused utilities for specific model review and preparation tasks within a Femap-based workflow.

What is the difference between these tools and SDC for Femap?

The free tools handle individual tasks such as plotting plate thicknesses, reviewing material assignments, and updating model mass.

SDC for Femap provides a broader structural verification workflow with engineering standards, automated checks, design optimization, and report generation.
