About Custom Automated FEM Methods

Custom Automated FEM methods allow you to define and program your own method for creating finite element models.

Custom methods files are XML files that you create to define a standard process for a specific type of model or simulation. The XML file is saved as an engineering document and then incorporated into the user interface for use.

Creating custom methods generally requires an expert to design and program the interface and options. However, once the method is created, it can be used by anyone who has access to install it. Using custom methods can simplify workflows by providing only the options that are relevant to the specific simulation you are running.
