CAE Fidesys comprises three main components:
Fidesys — preprocessing and analysis (computational kernels);
FidesysCalc — calculations;
FidesysViewer — postprocessing and visualization of results.
You can run the program in either of the following ways:
Use the Start menu (if you chose creating shortcuts in it when installing): choose Fidesys in the folder where you installed the program.
Use any file manager for Windows from the list where the program was installed (C:\Program Files\Fidesys\Fidesys-9.0 by default): run the file fidesys.exe (it is in the folder preprocessor\bin).
Several copies of the program can be run on the same PC at a time.
If you work on the licensed version, after running the program you see its Main window. If you use the trial period, a Fidesys Licensing window appears in which you should either click Activate in order to purchase a license or click Try to continue working in trial mode and go to the Main window.
