Meshless methods and finite element analysis (FEA) remain at the forefront of computational engineering, offering robust frameworks for simulating complex physical phenomena in diverse fields ...

Models such as this housing can be divided along an axis of symmetry to reduce model size and run times. Each node supports translation along and rotation about an X, Y, and Z axis for a total of six ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
