CAC’s finite element analysis system consists of state of the art Windows based CAEFEM analysis software and Lumino pre and post processor.

CAEFEM is a general purpose finite element analysis software developed for Windows from scratch in C/C++ languages.  Lumino is a finite element modeler and post processor which supports solid modeling based on ACIS and/or Parasolid engines.  Hence solid model geometry can be imported into Lumino for automatic mesh generation, application of loads and boundary conditions and for performing analysis.  CAEFEM is very closely integrated with Lumino.

Following is a brief list of important features of CAEFEM.  For more details on CAEFEM analyses, please visit CAEFEM Analysis page.

• True Windows Application
