FEA / CAE Books

The objective of this tutorial book is to expose the reader to the basic FEA capabilities in CATIA V5. The chapters are designed to be independent of each other allowing the user to pick specific topics without the need to go through the previous chapters. However, the best strategy to learn is to sequentially cover the chapters....

ABAQUS for CATIA (AFC), the software tool, uses the powerful pre and post processing capability of CATIA V5 to set up problems for solution using the versatile FEA solver, ABAQUS. Currently, AFC is Capable of solving problems involving linear and non linear static as well as thermal analyses. This tutorial book uses a step-by-step...

This textbook is written for first-time FEA users (in general) and MECHANICA users (in particular). After a brief introduction to finite element modeling, the tutorial introduces the major concepts behind the use of Pro/MECHANICA to perform Finite Element Analysis of parts. These include modes of operation, element types, design studies...

The primary goal of An Introduction to Finite Element Analysis Using I-DEAS 12 is to introduce the aspects of finite element analysis that are important to the software user. Theoretical aspects are introduced as they are needed to help better understanding of the operation. Emphasis is on the practical concepts and procedures to using...

This tutorial provides an overall look over STAAD Pro 2005. It demonstrates the steps to be followed to produce the structural analysis and design of two types of buildings: concrete and steel. Also, the tutorial concentrates on the different results generated from the program, how to read them, view them, and finally generate the necessary...

The exercises in the ANSYS Workbench Tutorial introduce the reader to effective engineering problem solving through the use of this powerful modeling, simulation and optimization tool. Topics that are covered include solid modeling, stress analysis, conduction/convection heat transfer, thermal stress, vibration and buckling. It is designed...

The nine lessons in this book introduce the reader to effective finite element problem solving by demonstrating the use of the comprehensive ANSYS FEM software in a series of step-by-step tutorials. Topics covered include problems involving trusses, plane stress, plane strain, axisymmetric and three-dimensional geometries, beams,...

This book has been written for a finite element analysis course given to industry designers and college Mechanical Engineering Students who want to perform finite element analysis using Pro/MECHANICA in integrated mode. It is assumed by the author that the reader has a basic knowledge of Pro/Engineer (minimum 200 hours) in order to be able...

This book is written for industry designers and engineering students with limited knowledge of finite element analysis. By going through the lessons, the user will be able to perform structural static analysis and model large assemblies in FEA.
