Search Results for "shell"

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...

SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux is a user-contributed script and environment setup project that enables running SOLIDWORKS, the professional 3D CAD software, on Linux via Wine and custom configurations. Since SOLIDWORKS is officially only available for Windows, this project offers a comprehensive solution including setup scripts, dependencies, and workarounds to help engineers, designers, and students use it on Linux-based systems. While not officially supported, it aims to bridge the platform gap with...

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...

Explicit/Impicit Finite Element Program with linear/nonlinear, elastic/hyperelastic/hypoelastic/plastic/visco, contact,thermal, fluid capabilities. h/p refinements. Parallel/Distributed solvers available. No shell elements but has 2D beams, trusses.

The developed graphical interface is based on the SKILL language which is a Lisp dialect used as a scripting language and PCell (Parameterized Cells) description language used in many EDA software suites by Cadence Design Systems.
