Nodek, It has been my observation that as much as they try to dumb down Cosmos, you still have to know a lot of the underlying theory in the end. I think black boxes only work for really simple geometries and loading conditions like -- er -- boxes!
Having to learn even more about FEA doesn't...
Rob,
Thanks for your reply. Do you have any feeling for what products are likely to get to a solution with minimal futzing? I find that even for linear/noncontact problems, I often cannot simulate unless I spend days and days setting up the problem just right. For me, it's usually it's pretty...
I've been using CosmosWorks/Simulation off and on for about 6 years now. For simple problems it's pretty good. But for anything a little complicated, it often turns into a struggle.
Is there anyone out there who has used CosmosWorks/Simulation and another product? I always wonder if I'm...
