The FEMPAD software has been designed according to a classical 3-tiers scheme, which offers the advantage of decoupling the know-how of the user and the technological features from all the informatical aspects:

• All informatical aspects are taken in charge by the software (level 1, by SAMTECH)
• The computational and technological features are encoded into the data sets, which remain the property of the customer;
• The final users have just to launch the computation.

They do no longer worry about methodology; they are no longer bothered by writing piles of paper, and can definitely focus on the computation results and the mechanical design.

Your benefits:

FEMPAD makes it possible to create calculation sequences of any type. FEMPAD works with two specific kernel gears:

• The Tool Manager: used to organize the calculation to be launched;
• The Variable Manager: which simplifies the communication between all the tools.

Variables
FEMPAD variables are the same ones as those used by FEMWORD. They define the inputs and the outputs of the various tools used in the data set. The starting variables can be obtained by reading neutral files, but SAMCEF users can also benefit from the possibility to initialize variables from requests of SAMRES type.

Tools
Users have full access to numerous internal tools but they can also define and use their own external tools. The latter are launched through shell scripts and all communications can be done via neutral files. FEMWORD is advantageously used at this level to create data files on basis of these neutral files.
Among the internal tools, following features are available:

• Use of tables (one, two or three entry variables);
• All arithmetic and mathematical operations;
• Processing of character strings;
• Programming tools (tests, loops, etc.);
  etc.
