What is linearity and what’s the difference with nonlinear simulation?

Happy New Year 2023 :) I can’t believe this blog has 10 years! Today, let’s talk about a few questions that I get all the time: What does linearity means? What is the difference with nonlinear simulation? When do you actually need nonlinear simulation? Video: Let’s talk first about the concept of linearity Linear static […]

How to define a nonlinear material in FEA?

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 […]
