The most advanced, comprehensive and reputable finite element analysis and design software package available for the Structural Engineering Projects - ANSYS and CivilFEM bundled product. The system combines the state-of-the art general purpose structural analysis features of ANSYS (ISO-9001) with high-end specific civil engineering-specific structural analysis capabilities of CivilFEM, making it a unique and powerful tool for a wide range of civil engineering projects (such as powerplants, bridges, tunnels, singular buildings, offshore structures, etc).

As both programs are completely integrated, CivilFEM supports all types of advanced analysis supported by ANSYS (dynamic, static, linear and non-linear) running as a unique software and executable. CivilFEM has a modular design composed by a general product called CivilFEM INTRO and by specialized modules to specific civil engineering needs such as the Bridges and Civil Nonlinearities module, the Advanced Prestressed Concrete module and the Geotechnical module that can be optionally added to CivilFEM INTRO.

For every existing ANSYS customers or new customers that will need no limitation in number of nodes and elements, is offered an unlimited solution: CivilFEM Multidiscipline. It includes all the specialized modules developed on CivilFEM(INTRO, Geotechnical, Bridges and Civil Non-linearities, and Advanced Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Modules), providing to the users a complete solution that will cover all their civil engineering needs. It works as an "add-on" with any unlimited ANSYS product: Professional NLT, Structural, Mechanical and Multiphysics.
