Hey guys,
If you are concerned about Algor's error, simply build a model using the elements you intend to use in your work and solve a closed form solution problem. Compare the results and you will know firsthand if Algor is a reliable package.
This is how all the "major League"...
Be very careful here. It is easy to make the wrong purchase, and it can be a costly mistake. Most FEA packages can read geometry from various CAD packages. You should have no problem there if you make sure that your packages include the proper translators. The question you face with regards...
Hi mishra,
A good place to start is with a static analysis of the floor with 2X the load to make sure the floor thick enough to hand the load without permanent deformation. Then move to Dyna. But I question the use of Dyna if you are not interested in the crush of the floor. If you are...
Hi Jan,
Here is a basic outline of a good report:
Background (describe why the FEA is needed)
Summary (brief section of results)
Modeling (describe model include geometry type ex. autocad,Pro/E etc., pre/post processor, solver, number and typ of elements, assumptions)
Boundary Conditions (list...
