Overview
Quickfem is not a replacement for major CAD software packages such as AutoCad, CATIA or CREO or big Finite Element Analysis suites such as Ansys, Abacus or Nastran; its simply not in the same league. However, Quickfem provides plenty of things the big packages dont.
Firstly, Quickfem runs on your mobile phone or tablet. This means you have the ability to play around with an approximate structural model to get a feel for interesting effects. Inspiration often happens when you are away from the PC; Quickfem is always in your pocket!
Second, Quickfem is hands down, the fastest FEA software package in the world for setting up and solving a model. Near instant feedback provides tight iteration loops necessary for rapid discovery. Engineers need to have a feel for the loads and stresses in a structure and know what is important in trade-offs without resorting to full blown CAD/FEA cycles.
Drawing and solving a simplified 2D representation of the actual 3D structure will deliver insight that will astonish your peers.
