APM WinMachine

制造商：LLC STC \”APM\”
APM WinMachine is software for automated calculation and design of equipment and structures in mechanical engineering.

The most distinctive feature of APM WinMachine is a vertically integrated structure, which allows developers to organize communication between computational modules to solve complex engineering problems.

APM WinMachine is built according to a modular architecture, which provides usability for industry-specific mechanical engineering problems.

All modules are divided into four groups:

Graphic tools (2D and 3D preprocessor for preparing geometry for calculations);
Machine parts and connections (calculations of standard machine parts, mechanisms, as well as their connections);
Finite element analysis (analysis of strength, stability, modal, dynamics);
Databases.
APM WinMachine product is registered in the Register of Russian computer programs and databases.
This software product is offered in two configurations:

ST — the dimension of problems to be solved does not exceed 1.5 million degrees of freedom;
XE — there are no restrictions on the problem dimensions to be solved (the actual dimension is limited by the computer RAM size).
Аdditional options are available:

Composite: calculation of structures made of composite materials;
Fracture: design calculation with crack analysis;
Fatigue: fatigue analysis, calculation using random loads;
Pipe: using special finite elements for pipeline calculations;
TopOpt: topological optimization of structures.
User guides are presented as separate documents for each APM WinMachine module:
