A few guidelines show how to correctly use FEA stresses to find reasonable margins of safety. Although finite-element analysis has become an indispensable part of engineering, a few users knock it ...

In 1984, Bussler created the first comprehensive finite element analysis system for personal computers. As the president and CEO of Algor, he has developed and overseen multiple engineering software ...

Designers of electronic systems are finding that mechanical issues are frequently becoming a major issue in product development, especially in RF design. To address these issues, Ansoft has introduced ...

Here's when to use linear-static FEA and when to use a nonlinear program. Most engineering problems contain nonlinear effects. Take a paper clip, for example. Push on one end hard enough and the clip ...

The ePhysics thermal and stress analysis tool expands the capabilities of the company's HFSS and Maxwell 3D by incorporating 3-D steady-state thermal, transient thermal and linear stress analysis into ...
