Among the new features of FEMtools 4.5 is support for the OptiStruct solver.
OptiStruct is a simulation technology developed by Altair that integrates structural optimization and analysis. It is used to solve both linear and nonlinear problems, providing comprehensive solutions for various analyses such as statics, dynamics, vibrations, acoustics, fatigue, and heat transfer.
