Can NESSUS interface to my in-house analysis software?

Yes. The user-defined numerical model allows easy interfacing to external analysis packages that use a text based input file. There all are also several options for extracting responses of interest including a specified field in a file and a user defined subroutine.

What happened to FPI/WinFPI?

The FPI (Fast Probability Integrator) software previous provided under version 2.4 was a subset of NESSUS. It supported a number of capabilities in NESSUS except the finite element interfaces, response surface method, Latin Hypercube simulation, and error based Monte Carlo simulation.

Over the years, only a few FPI licenses were requested compared to the number of NESSUS licenses. Providing two products that had similar capabilities also caused a lot of confusion about the products. Finally, maintaining two separate software products reduced the development effort to more useful areas. For these reasons, FPI as a separate product has been discontinued

Where can I get more information about NESSUS's capabilities?

More information about NESSUS's capabilities can be obtained from the "capabilities" page of this site.
