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. ...

The FAS method enables the systematic and partially automated creation of functional architectures from use cases. This platform-independent software for Python supports the needed automation via the SysML v2 REST API. To get started, download the zipped release, unzip it, and follow the instructions provided via FAS4SysMLv2_InstallationAndUse.txt in the extracted folder.

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.
