Falcon : Lightweight FEM Pre/Post Processor
Falcon is the Pre Post Processor for FEA Applications. It is based on the framework for developing a custom Pre Post processor in a short span. Even though large number of general purpose pre and postprocessors are available, customization of these applications require high skills and it is costly to do maintenance. Falcon’s framework can be used to develop the complete pre and post processing application at much lower costs. Sutra has developed number of applications for special purpose analysis like Rotary Dynamics, Hyper Elastic Analysis, Acoustics etc. The simple user interface allows even design engineers to make numerous what-if scenarios in short duration.
