GEM

Generic Engineering Analysis Model

GEM (Generic Engineering Analysis Model) was a European Community funded ESPRIT project managed by NAFEMS. 

The aim was to enable engineering analysis methods such as finite element analysis of solids or fluids to be used more effectively within the design and analysis process. 

The methodology behind GEM is to integrate software applications in the context of engineering analysis in an open, ISO-STEP-compliant way. These applications include coverage of product analysis modellers, mesh generators, analysis packages and/or modules, and post-processors.
