FEM CalculiX – online finite element analysis
With this tool, you can run calculations on 3D parts from STEP files and receive a clear results report with the most important metrics.
What is FEM CalculiX used for?
With an FEA calculation (finite element method), stresses, deformations and loads on parts can be evaluated during design. This enables weak points to be identified early and designs to be optimised before manufacturing.
Typical applications:
- Strength calculation of machine parts
- Stress and deformation analysis
- Design optimisation
- Checking parts before manufacturing
- Comparing design variants
How does the FEA calculation work?
- STEP file hochladen
- Define material and loads
- Start FEA calculation
- Evaluate stresses and deformations
- Download results report
Which results are output?
- Von Mises stresses
- Deformations
- Displacements
- Safety margins
- graphical result visualisations
Current limitations
- Large or finely meshed models require more compute time
- Current maximum file size is 50 MB per STEP file
- Results should be reviewed by a qualified engineer before critical manufacturing decisions
