Session 13: FEA models under or over constrained!
Video : 60 minutes presentation and curated Q and A Over-constrained, under-constrained or somewhere in the middle with FEA! Boundary conditions are probably the most difficult aspect of static FEA Underconstrained models: It is easy to forget to apply adequate constraints – Rigid Body Modes result! Over constraining is more subtle: The physics of the […]
Session 11: Units in FEA – some horror stories!
Units can cause a lot of errors in FE Analysis… Video : 60 minutes presentation and curated Q and A Conversion between unit systems is one of the biggest problems The errors can be due to simple ‘finger trouble’ Or They can be very difficult physical units US (old Imperial) to Metric is probably the most […]
