Any material model can be used with any element. There is no limit to the number of different materials or elements in a model. Automatic time incrementation in all analysis procedures and automatic selection of convergence criteria ensures high reliability, even in the most difficult nonlinear applications. Several analysis types can be included in a single simulation. It includes a proven, modern element library for efficiency and stress accuracy.
All elements are suitable for linear or nonlinear analyses.
A versatile restart capability ensures against unexpected analysis stoppages. User subroutines allow flexibility in advanced applications. The high volume of use has proven the effectiveness of the program and helps ensure reliability.
