A Story about FEA principles

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 […]

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 […]

What’s the difference between FEM and FDM?

The difference between FEM and FDM…  If you are serious about FEA and you want to get deep into the theory and the method used, then you probably asked yourself this question… And you came to the right place…because this blog is about “FEA for all: From basic to Advanced” ;-) What I’ll talk about […]
