IMPETUS BASIC
The IMPETUS Afea Solver® is a general purpose explicit non-linear transient dynamic Finite Element solver that truly represents a breakthrough in simulation technology and deserves to be called “Next Generation”. The most advanced high order finite elements, ASET™ Elements, which are totally new formulations that are accurate and incredibly robust. The latest hardware parallelization with GPU processing (NVIDIA Tesla® GPU Accelerators) to provide the power of a cluster in a single standard workstation. The IMPETUS Afea Software Suite includes modules that work flawlessly with the FE Solver and further exemplifies what “Next Generation Simulation Software” should mean. The IMPETUS BASIC Module is the Lagrangian FEM Module.
