Why do FEA engineers use 1D, 2D, 3D elements ?

March 12, 2015 by Cyprien 11 Comments

Yesterday, my Friend Apoorv Sharma conducted a webinar about FEM Modeling and the topic was quite popular as over 200 engineers registered to attend. I suggested Apoorv to include a simple poll about 1D,2D and 3D element types to see what the engineers that joined the webinar were thinking. If you want to watch the […]

All the truth about CAE and FEA Simulation Software

November 22, 2014 by Cyprien 11 Comments

All the truth about CAE and FEA Simulation Software I always wanted to write a post like that because I think everyone who is considering investing into CAE and FEA Simulation Software deserves to know. Software vendors are always using similar terms to define their own software as fast, accurate, easy, affordable, moreover there is a […]

All About Hertz Contact
