Finite element analysis has enabled engineers to virtually predict material and product performance, eliminating non-functional possibilities and establishing the best material and design without the ...

An engineer with limited FEA experience and no library of best practices to guide him tried to mesh a thin-walled bike frame with solid elements rather than using more appropriate beam elements. Most ...

Most introductory classes in finite-element analysis probably breeze over the details that would explain exactly what the software is doing and why. For instance, FEA programs calculate stresses after ...

The ability to predict, in the design stage, how a product will perform in its operating environment is not only an invaluable aid but, in an increasingly competitive marketplace, an economic ...

A custom yacht buyer’s request for large, open interiors compromises structural stiffness in the vessel’s initial design, resulting in racking motion during vibration load simulations. The lucky ...
