You need not know everything about FEA to successfully run today's analysis software. Over the past 30 years, finite-element analysis has gone from a technology used mostly by experts and academics to ...

Finite-element analysis (FEA) lets engineers at Alliance Spacesystems Inc. (ASI) of Pasadena, Calif., build a lightweight, yet strong, robotic arm for NASA's "Spirit" Mars rover. By testing the arm ...

Design experts say using FEA early in a design cycle lets engineers detect and correct problems sooner and in a less-costly manner than if they wait to apply it. Few debate that wisdom. Most automatic ...

Hi there,<BR><BR>At my work we are doing some fairly heavy structural FE analyses using ANSYS and LS-DYNA on the PC platform (WinXP). While some dual processor capabilities are present in these ...

Finite element analysis has enabled engineers to virtually predict material and product performance, eliminating non-functional possibilities and establishing the best material and design without the ...

It has long been the dream of engineering-software providers -- both on the analysis side and design side -- that these two stages of product development be more closely integrated. That's also the ...
