An example of a six-cut x-small model. An example of a five-cut small model. Total knee replacement has become a common major surgical procedure with more than 600,000 cases being performed annually ...

Through the Moldex3D FEA interface, the molding analysis result from Moldex3D can be integrated into the structure analysis. With the consideration of manufacturing effects on the material and the ...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are often utilized to express space- and time-dependent problems in physics, however, when applied in geometry and for the solving of other related problems, ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

There is no doubt that finite-element analysis is getting a bigger role in development projects. One reason is that it helps slash expensive prototype testing. The technology is also seen as another ...

A very basic example of this can be noted in certain oldest applications of finite elements. More than 2000 years earlier, geometers were keen on finding out the circumference and area of a circle.

If you were thinking user error, think again. Incorrect analysis often results from a lack of understanding the software’s original purpose. Figure 1: Typical four-noded tetrahedral mesh—overly stiff.
