Search Results for "method"

Parametric analysis is often needed for exploring design options, especially when a global optimization method is not available, or the optimization result is in doubt. Parametric analysis can also be applied to all design variables simultaneously, which forms an exhaustive search that, providing that the search grid is fine enough, will guarantee a global optimum solution. In order to perform complex parametric analyses on multiple parameters with more than a handful of alternative values each, a tool to generate commands for the simulation model to run, and to collect results afterwards will be needed. jEPlus has been developed as such a parametric tool for EnergyPlus. ...

...By manipulating the construction parameters, other earthworks can be calculated, such as ditches, embankments, land fills, building sites — in short, anything suitable for the cross-section method. The program produces high quality drawings, reports, and construction data for the design. These results can be exported to other systems such as office, CAD and GIS software, surveying equipment, and systems for automated machine control.

A unified framework, NLIGA (Non-Linear Isogeometric Analysis), is developed for mainly solving two and three-dimensional nonlinear problems on the MATLAB platform by using isogeometric analysis (IGA). Nonlinear hyperelastic and elastoplastic materials are primarily considered at this stage. Newton-Raphson method is used to solve the nonlinear governing equations. A series of benchmark examples are performed to validate the procedures. The visualization procedures are also developed to visualize the obtained results including displacements, stresses and numerical errors.

ParaFEM is an open source platform for parallel finite element analysis. The source code and philosophy are documented in the text book Smith, Griffiths and Margetts, "Programming the Finite Element Method", 5th Edition, Wiley, 2014. The software is written in modern Fortran and uses MPI for message passing.

PSA(Program for Structural Analysis) is able to analyse Framed structures using FEM(Direct Stiffness Method). Apart from giving the analysed results, PSA is able to give user the various stiffness Matrices generated during the analysis, as web page.

This is a free program for solving linear 2D framed structures under static loading and calculating the mode shapes. It is coupled with an easy-to-use GUI that provides the possibility to design the structure very fast. It calculates reaction forces, diagrams of axial and shear forces, as well as, diagrams of bending moments. Moreover, it calculates the mode shapes of the structure using various methods and it will be cabable of performing dynamic analysis soon. The program is written...

Traglast is a free finite-element-solver ( also known as FEM for finite element method) for linear static 2D problem. It provides also an algorithm to calculate boundary plastic loads of steal structures. Traglast supports a simple GUI.

The openLBMflow is an fast fluid flow solver based on Lattice Boltzmann Method. Main future are 2D and 3D code, single and multiphase models, Output data in VTK format can be directly open in Paraview. Download Windows or Linux binary version now.

A solver based on the spectral element method, used in conjunction with FEMAP, as a pre- and post- processor. It solves the elastic wave propagation problem, and the coupling with a piezoelectric materials for excitation and sensing. It is currently in 2D and has both static and transient capabilities.
