Integration of simulation into multiple stages of a product development process can yield big benefits in terms of cost reduction and process efficiency. However, it is key that engineering firms ...

Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

A 330-model finite element study of composite steel-concrete beams reveals that circular web openings outperform all other ...

Evaluate Structural Behavior Under Challenging Loading and Design Conditions. Through their careful examination of complex structures, both large and small, structural engineers with a focus on ...

When performing structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA), it is often advised that thin-walled parts should only be meshed using solid elements if it is possible to use at least three elements through ...
