A Story about FEA principles

by 1 Comment

When you work with FEA for a long time, it’s only natural to wonder about the initial physical principles behind the software we use every day… It’s nice to have a graphical interface with buttons, ways to draw and make calculations… but  where does all of that comes from and what are the physical equations used […]

[Salome Video Tutorial] Automating Geometry Creation with Python

by 3 Comments

This week I am going into one of the most interesting aspects of using open-source FEA, the fact that you can automate fully geometry and mesh creation using Python! Yes, by automating, I mean that you can create a script and let it make all the hard work to create your geometry model from zero. […]

How to define a nonlinear material in FEA?

by 16 Comments

In this article, I will tell you the very basics you need to understand to start using nonlinear material models in your FEA simulation. If you are just starting FEA, you may have learned that defining “Material Data” usually meant providing 2 input values into your FEA software: The Young’s Modulus The poisson’s ratio And […]

[Salome-Meca Tutorial] How to perform Stress Linearization in Code_Aster

by 1 Comment

If you ever have tried to analyze pressure vessels, you know that there is ONE feature that you absolutely need to be able to use… Stress linearization! Why? The short answer is that you can’t extract the bending stresses and other kind of stresses you need to check your model against the ASME code section […]

[Code Aster Tutorial] How to run your simulation with Astk
