March 6, 2016 by Cyprien Leave a Comment

This example is for those who never had an access to midas Gen previously. Follow all of the steps from the modeling to the interpretation of analysis results for a 3–D simple 2–bay frame to get acquainted with the process. This is the first tutorial of midas GEN. The tutorial in paper form is extremely […]

Introduction to Stress Linearization

February 24, 2016 by Cyprien 7 Comments

In the finite element method, when structural elements are used in an analysis, the total stress distribution is obtained. Therefore, to produce membrane and bending stresses, the total stress distribution shall be linearized on a stress component basis and used to calculate the equivalent stresses. If shell elements (shell theory) are used, then the membrane […]

FEA Basics – Stress Linearization explained simply

February 24, 2016 by Cyprien 6 Comments

Let’s suppose that someone in a bar asks you what is stress linearization, how would you answer? (The bar just next MIT…) I would answer like that: “When you apply a pressure on a solid and this solid becomes stressed, stress created has 6 components in each point of the solid. It’s cool because your […]

RBE2 VS RBE3

February 22, 2016 by Cyprien 5 Comments

RBE2 and RBE3 are basically rigid elements that are use to connect mesh sets together. The name is similar, but there is a fundamental difference between them: RBE2 transmits the displacements and RBE3 transmits the Loads (MPC Forces) I made 2 videos that show: How to create RBE2 and RBE3 Elements The results in terms […]

This morning, I received some message from Nikhil asking me that: I am fresh mechanical graduate passed out in 2015, i also want to build my career in CAD/CAE domain. let me know which one is better and how to start in this field. what are future advantages of this field. Here is what I […]

Did you ever experience Design Failure?

February 2, 2016 by Cyprien 3 Comments

Few months ago, I performed a webinar about Design Optimization and it was one of the most successful webinar I ever performed. Hundreds of engineers registered and participated to this live event (I received more than 30 questions about design optimization directly to my inbox). –> Recording is available here if you are interested. Not […]
