This element provides load bearing capacity through both membrane and bending actions. Since the software never searches outside of these boundaries, these side constraints essentially define the limits of the design space. There are penta, hexa and tetra solid finite elements. Information regarding all facets of the solid structure is accessible from the associated database files. There are no time varying changes in the resulting temperatures.
Stiffness is determined by material type and geometry.
The analysis may be elastic, inelastic, time dependent or dynamic. It eliminates computational problems such as memory, speed and size limitations. This value allows for a quick method to locate probable problem areas with one plot. Back to Top 1999-2001 Copyrights .
