There is no doubt that finite-element analysis is getting a bigger role in development projects. One reason is that it helps slash expensive prototype testing. The technology is also seen as another ...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are often utilized to express space- and time-dependent problems in physics, however, when applied in geometry and for the solving of other related problems, ...

Through the Moldex3D FEA interface, the molding analysis result from Moldex3D can be integrated into the structure analysis. With the consideration of manufacturing effects on the material and the ...

Fracture mechanics and finite element analysis represent two interrelated domains that fundamentally advance our understanding of material failure. The discipline of fracture mechanics addresses the ...

A few guidelines show how to correctly use FEA stresses to find reasonable margins of safety. Although finite-element analysis has become an indispensable part of engineering, a few users knock it ...

If you were thinking user error, think again. Incorrect analysis often results from a lack of understanding the software’s original purpose. We’ve all seen the presentations, a series of ...
