ABAQUS/CAE vs FEMAP

[ThomasH]

Hi all

One department at the company I'm working at is in the process of evaluating which pre/post processor to primarily use in the future. I have a lot of experience with FEMAP but some people want to go with ABAQUS since that will probably be the solver.

My question is: Can anybody compare FEMAP and ABAQUS/CAE?
Primarily we will create models and run them, there is no import/export to other softwares today.

How "good" is the API in CAE compared to the one in FEMAP, any ideas?

Also: The "old" software ABAQUS/Pre and ABAQUS/Post, have they been made redundant by ABAQUS/CAE or do they coexist?

Any input is appreciated

Regards

abaqus/cae have replaced the abaqus/pre and abaqus/post few years ago. cae can do what pre and post do...
