Explicit FEA software is a powerful tool to model dynamic structures and transient loading. They are, time-consuming and difficult to troubleshoot. Often, FEA engineers ...
Blast Resistant Building Design With Finite Element Analysis
Explosive hazards are prevalent in many industries. The source of these explosions can be accidental or malevolent. Regardless, site personnel need protection from these hazards. ...
Most structures and their loads are symmetric. In these cases it's possible to take advantage of symmetry to simplify your Finite Element Analysis and reduce ...
Modeling Bolted Connections Under External Load with Finite Element Analysis
In last week's blog, we discussed the science behind bolted connections. Specifically their response when subjected to a combined external load and preload. In this ...
Failures Happen, Learn from Them If you’ve made it here, something probably went wrong. And you don’t want it to happen again. Failure is sometimes ...
