FEEA SDK™ 2010 - Cs Edition

The Cross-Section (Cs) Edition of Anaxsoft FEEA SDK™ 2010, allows the integration of a comprehensive finite element computational engine, that calculates the properties of arbitrary shaped, thin-walled cross-sections, into .NET applications.

The Cs Edition is built using the same code base as Anaxsoft FEEA SDK™ 2010 product line — Fs Edition, Ss Edition — and is available on 32-bit/64-bit Windows platforms.

Users of Cs Edition of FEEA SDK 2010

The Cs Edition of FEEA SDK 2010 is a perfect choice for many different groups, who want to embed a cross-section computational engine in their application:

  • Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who want to extend customer value at low cost
  • Research and educational institutions who need a cross-section engine for their research

Using the Cs Edition with your applications

The Cs Edition of FEEA SDK 2010 is easy to work with and integrate into your applications. You simply feed it with your mesh, which represents your cross section, no matter how complex it is, and you're done!

You can use two-dimensional finite elements: 3- or 6-node triangular elements, and 4- or 8- or 9-node quadrilateral elements. Our engine performs the appropriate calculations, and you then obtain the calculated properties. The process is illustrated below:
