CivilFEM Software
CivilFEM is an ANSYS-based finite element code that has been customized for the construction industry. ANSYS with CivilFEM software integrates civil engineering-specific structural analysis and code-checking capabilities seamlessly into ANSYS. The following applications are suited for ANSYS with CivilFEM software: high rise buildings, bridges, seismic calculations, off-shore structures, power plants, soil mechanics, dams and tunnels. Some of the code checking incorporated into CivilFEM includes:
- Eurocode
- Russian SP
- ACI
- Brazilian Code
- ASTM
- British Code
- AISC
- Chinese Code
CivilFEM technology, when combined with quality (ISO-9001) and the robust functionality of ANSYS, creates an engineering solution that spans a spectrum (linear, non-linear, static and dynamic) that no other single code can match. Currently, ANSYS with CivilFEM software offers advanced modules for solutions in the following areas:
Advanced Pre-stressed Concrete Module
Advanced Pre-stressed Concrete Module offers best in class features that provide users with an easy-to-use interface to handle any kind of pre-stressed concrete structures.

Geotechnical Module
Geotechnical Module provides 2D and 3D soil mechanics solutions using any combination of Beam, Shell and Solid elements. The interface solves complex structural and soil-structure interaction problems. The analysis accounts for non-linear materials, geometry and contact conditions as well as the design-checking of the structural elements. Applications include tunnels, dams, piles and micro piles, foundation slabs, geotextiles-geogrids, reinforced soils, retaining structures, etc.
