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 […]

FEA Automation: Is it always good to automate?

It’s been some time I am talking about what I think of automation and “push-a-button” solutions to my newsletter subscribers. I know that this is a potentially “sensitive” topic for some people in the FEA field…and many people working in the FEA software industry would prefer you not to know about what I am about […]
