Over the last decade, numerical simulation has become an indispensible tool for designing all kinds of engineered components. Here’s a short technical review of how to use finite-element analysis (FEA ...

They can complicate analysis because even small assemblies can have bolts, screws, rivets, and weld joints, some with preloads. Still, there are ways to consider fastener reactions, says David Dearth, ...

Cobham Technical Services claims that the development of new generations of transformers and line reactors is radically simplified and accelerated by a new automated software toolbox from its Vector ...

This paper describes the capabilities of the finite element method for vehicle interior acoustic analysis. Structural and acoustic finite element models of a van-type vehicle are employed to ...
