The physical situation can either be imported via DXF files or be directly entered and processed with the integrated CAD editor or through Athena Directly.

Flixo is subdivided into a design section and a report section. The physical situation (geometry, boundary conditions, materials) is defined in the design part. The results can be interactively combined in the reports. Elements which arise in all reports can be defined in a master report.

The integrated and expandable component library of flixo enables components to be simply transferred using the mouse (drag & drop) into the current design.

• Layers: Objects can be arranged on various layers and the layers can be selectively superimposed, masked out, printed and frozen.
• Snapping aids: Objects can be aligned with various auxiliary objects such as auxiliary lines, grids and special points on adjacent objects.
• Associative elements such as local results and isothermals.
• Mouse and keyboard-controlled input.
• Geometrical operations such as grouping, merging, cutting, differences between objects.

Material data base with more than 1000 materials from various standards (EN ISO 12524, EN ISO 10077-2, EN ISO 673, EN 6946, DIN 4108-4)
