There's lots of talk about the need to make simulation a core part of the early design process, yet the reality has been tools for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), ...

There is more to a solution than just the high-stress locations. Precision-contour displays (left) let engineers with Kerotest Manufacturing Corp. judge how well the mesh complied with the assumptions ...

An engineer with limited FEA experience and no library of best practices to guide him tried to mesh a thin-walled bike frame with solid elements rather than using more appropriate beam elements. Most ...

World-leading aircraft engine manufacturer Safran Aircraft Engines will implement Ansys’ industry-leading finite element analysis (FEA) tools as an end-to-end structural and thermal simulation ...

As an FEA software user, you may need material properties not found in your software's default material library. You can now effortlessly import material properties from a growing collection of more ...

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

MSC.Software announced late last week that they’ve team up with NVIDIA to boost the performance of the company’s finite element analysis software using Tesla GPUs MSC.Software’s finite element ...

Continuous Composites, which recently secured multi-million-dollar funding from the US Air Force to advance the development of high-performance materials using its CF3D® technology, has also been ...

In 2013, Boeing rolled out the first 787-9 Dreamliner, the newest member of the super-efficient 787 family. In order to power this massive aircraft, Rolls-Royce designed the state of the art Trent ...

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.
