SAE Transactions, Vol. 100, Section 5: JOURNAL OF MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING (1991), pp. 1070-1089 (20 pages) An approach for the automatic generation and refinement of three dimensional finite element ...

Hexahedral mesh generation and optimisation underpin a wide range of engineering and scientific applications, most notably finite element analysis. This field addresses the challenge of partitioning ...

Parametric features are becoming more common in FEA packages. The key benefit of parametric features is that they let users see the effects of design changes quickly. With adequate planning, users can ...

Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create ...
