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 ...

The oil and gas industry depends on simulation. In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Robert Roe explores how the technique can optimize the integrity of structures in extreme ...

All the vendors of finite element analysis (FEA) software would agree that choosing a particular FEA package is a major decision for an engineering department. Hibbitt, Karlsson & Sorensen Inc., now ...

Over the last decade, numerical simulation has become an indispensible tool for designing all kinds of engineered components. Here’s a short technical review of how to use finite-element analysis (FEA ...

Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create ...
