The Forty-year Journey of Femtet, the CAE Software that Continues to Support Murata Manufacturing's Product Development with FEM Analysis
For approximately 40 years, Murata Manufacturing has been utilizing CAE software that was developed in-house to support its development and design efforts. This CAE software is called "Femtet" and is based on the finite element method, which supports eight fields of analysis including stress, electromagnetic waves, and fluids. Femtet has also been commercially available outside of Murata since 2008. This article discusses the development of Femtet and the motivation for making it commercially available, as well as the reasons why even by non-specialist engineers can use it effectively.
