FEM files: what are they and how do I open them?
Are you facing difficulties opening unknown files on your computer, or wondering exactly what this file is?
We've got the information and best software solutions for opening these files effortlessly.
.fem file type #1: FEFLOW problem settings file
Files with fem suffix may be usually encountered as some kind oif settings from FEFLOW fluid flow modeling software.
Further details:
File extension fem seems to be associated with FEFLOW, a professional software package for modeling fluid flow and transport of dissolved constituents and/or heat transport processes in the subsurface.
A .fem file is used to store all model-related information, such as the Problem Settings, the Parameters and View window settings. Only this file is needed to run the model. Maps are stored as references to the original map files relative to the location of the *.fem file. These files can be stored either in binary mode or as ASCII (text) file.

.fem file type #2: NX finite element data
Files with fem extension can be found as special meta data for 3D parts (.prt) used in Siemens NX software.
Further details:
File extension fem is used for one of the native file types of NX, a high-end CAD/CAM/CAE software by Siemens.
The FEM file stores all finite element data (nodes, elements, connections, material properties, element properties) for a specific entity. The finite element data is, by default, associated to the geometry of the Idealized Part or Part (.prt files) used for construction of the mesh.
