FIDAP lets you generate meshes comprised of quadrilaterals or triangles for two-dimensional regions, and hexahedra, pyramids and prisms, tetrahedra, pyramid and prism (available in version 8.7) and wedges for three-dimensional regions. This powerful capability enables you to accurately model the most complex geometries. The synergy between GAMBIT and FIDAP provides powerful opportunities to streamline and improve your model-building process. GAMBIT's user-friendly journaling capability complements FIDAP's programmability. This lets you define models parametrically, create models using macros, and embed programming logic into your model-building procedures. The FIDAP and GAMBIT journal files can be combined to create completely parameterized models for time-saving, automated parametric studies.

GAMBIT’s journaling capability was used here to create an automated parametric study to quickly examine several configurations of this die design
