Can you define FEM in one line?
If yes, what would it be? And, in that case, permit me a second question: How?
...Really interested in knowing what the members of this community think (of this matter), if they do...

The Mechanics of Solids and Structures – Hierarchical Modeling and the Finite Element Solution
Miguel Luiz Bucalem and Klaus-Jürgen Bathe
Our main objective in this book is to provide a rational, structured and modern framework for the modeling and analysis of engineering structures.
All,
Could anyone recommend courses, online materials or text books that
would be suitable for teaching the finite element method to someone with
a non-engineering background. This request is on behalf of an MD
student wishing to use the FEM for modelling the wrist. We're initially
looking for introductory materials.
Best regards
Lee

Authors welcome any comments for future studies!
In Abaqus .inp or Abaqus/CAE, are there mesh generation commands similar to ANSYS commands FILL, NGEN, and EGEN used to geneate nodes (between keypoints) and elements ?

Hi,
I would like to write a simple subroutine to solve diffusion equation d(ro)/dt = k∇2(ro). using finite element method.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Ayoub
Would like to hear your expertise/user/non-expert/sceptic comments on XFEM. Here are some of the challenges. Would like to hear your relections.
1. Can XFEM be utilized in characterizing Failure rather than Fracture?
2. What sort of challenges XFEM still have with respect to Fracture Mechanics?
3. How the Fracture mechanics benefit the industry, from the perspective of strcutural integrity?
4. Failue investigations vs. Fracture investigations: benefit to industry?
5. Academist vs Engineer: Perspective on XFEM
Hi,
For a personal project I'd like to find a free program that lets me see what happens when I take a beach ball and apply greater and greater weight on it. I'm specifically interested in the deformation of the ball, and the stresses in the material.
