FEBio Studio is an integrated environment for the finite element modeling program FEBio. Although

it has some mesh generation capabilities, its primary function is to set up the boundary

and loading conditions, material properties, and analysis parameters for finite element analysis

with the software FEBio. The main features of FEBio Studio include:

• User-friendly UI that greatly facilitates the FE modeling process

• Primitive mesh generation, e.g. boxes, cylinders, spheres, etc.

• Tetrahedral mesh generation and remeshing via TetGen, NetGen, and MMG

• Mesh editing on element and sub-element level

• Supports various FE file formats, including FEBio, Abaqus, Ansys, Comsol, LSDYNA

• Supports various mesh file formats, including STL, VTK, BYU.

• Supports most of FEBio’s modeling capabilities, including boundary conditions, surface and

body loads, contact interfaces, analysis types, and more.

• FE model can be exported to FEBio and NIKE3D file formats.

• Mesh can also be exported to various file formats, including LSDYNA, VTK, and more.

• FEBio model can be run from within the GUI

• FEBio plot files, which contain the analysis results, can be visualized directly in FEBioStudio.
