FE Worked Examples 3

[normm]

I have access to a FE program called Lusas. I am used to it and like it but its manuals have rather limited worked examples.

I wish to apply Lusas to some Civil/Structural problems (mainly non-linear problems like buckling, non-linear materials and support conditions, dynamic problems etc.)

I am looking for worked examples in other programs that I can easily access and compare with Lusas results.

I will appreciate if you can suggest any books or sites where I can access such worked examples.

I believe Algor's sample problems are available without having to log in.

You should also be able to find several by searching university sites.

Dear normm,
Check ADINA of Prof. Klaus Hürgen Bathe (MIT MechE), an excellent nonlinear code plenty of very good examples:

Also you can request a 300-node Demo version of Femap & NX Nastran in the following link:

You have an Examples manual with many problems solved step-by-step, very good to learn the use of FEA.

Best regards,
Blas.

Thanks a lot GBor, FeX32, BlasMolero.
Your leads seem all very helpful. At a first glance, it looks Ansys has the best tutorials, that can be accessed free on-line.
