What are the available products in the Advanced Meshing Tools workbench?

The Advanced Meshing Tools workbench includes the following products:

FMS: FEM Surface (P2)
This product lets you generate a finite element model for complex 1D and 2D parts.

RBM: Rule Based Meshing (P2)
This product lets you generate a finite element model for complex 2D parts based on parameters and rules.

FMD: FEM Solid (P2)
This product lets you generate a finite element model for complex 3D parts.

Installing the FEM Surface (FMS) or FEM Solid (FMD) product installs the Generative Part Structural Analysis (GPS) product automatically.
To learn more about the Generative Part Structural Analysis (GPS) product, see Licensing in the Generative Structural Analysis User's Guide.
Installing the Rule Based Meshing (RBM) product installs the FEM Surface (FMS) product automatically.
