LEADING DESIGN TOOL FOR CHEMICAL EXPOSURE ANALYSIS

CheFEM Software
CheFEM applies Calibrated Sanchez-Lacombe Equation of States and Finite Element Methodology (FEM) to quantify the effects of chemical exposure on polymers and their composites. CheFEM can be installed as a stand-alone tool as well as "chemical exposure plug-in" to other mechanically oriented FEM packages, such as Abaqus and Ansys.
