We are excited to announce the release of the latest 2023 version of CivilFEM for ANSYS MAPDL and CivilFEM Apps for ANSYS Workbench. These new versions offer a range of enhancements and features to further empower civil engineering professionals in their analysis and design processes.
CivilFEM 2023 for Ansys MAPDL Enhancements:
- Support for ANSYS 2023 R1.
- AISC 15º edition update. Steel beams can be checked by specifications of ANSI/AISC 360-16 code.
- Improved generation of CivilFEM result files (rcv) with significant speed enhancements. A progress bar has been added to ~rcvwrt, all command.
- CivilFEM Expanded licensing options: CivilFEM now supports licensing and installation on Windows servers from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft Azure clouds.
CivilFEM Apps 2023 for Ansys Workbench:
- Support for ANSYS 2023 R1.
- AISC 15º edition update. Steel beams can be checked by specifications of ANSI/AISC 360-16 code.
- Parallelization during check/design process for faster analysis and design.
- Display of forces and moments on beams using the CivilFEM beam check object.
- Addition of data sets from any rst file using a file browser.
- Generation of combined rst file after performing CivilFEM check and design solution.
If you are an existing CivilFEM for ANSYS customer, your license grants you access to the Apps for ANSYS Workbench as well.
For academic purposes and software assessment, you can also download the free trial version of CivilFEM Student, which can be used alongside the ANSYS Student version.

About CivilFEM for Ansys
CivilFEM is a civil/structural plug-in for ANSYS MAPDL that offers over 400 additional capabilities for the analysis and design of various civil engineering structures. These capabilities include the checking and design of ANSYS beam, shell, or solid element models according to international concrete and steel codes. It also provides specialized modules for geotechnics, bridges, and nuclear power plants, including nuclear codes, J and ∩ tendons, seismic margin assessment (HCLPF - EPRI-NP6041-Rev1), and more. Furthermore, it enables the definition of any type of tendon layout, calculation of short and long-term losses, and the transfer of equivalent forces to beam, shell, and solid element models.
About CivilFEM Apps for Ansys Workbench
A much-demanded capability in the construction industry is check and design using the main international construction standards and, fortunately, ANSYS® users can now check and design their models using these standards with the help of the new CivilFEM® APPs for ANSYS® Workbench™.
These Apps also incorporate a complete material library and section library that encompasses materials and sections. In addition, they allow the simple and intuitive generation of the load combinations, an essential task in the construction field for its later check and design.
