Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

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 ...

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, ...

AxisVM is a high-quality software package for civil engineers. It is a useful tool for engineers in numerous countries. Users can build the 3D model with the aid of integrated visual modeling and ...

Paulin Research Group advances nozzle FEA with precision tools that go beyond WRC methods. New software release coming in March 2025. PRG's tools continue to lead the way in FEA and ASME BPV code ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...
