A Handbook of
Finite Element Systems
The finite element method has become, because
of its versatility, one of the most important tools
used by engineers. However there are at present
so many different finite element systems that
intending users find it difficult to appreciate the
advantages or disadvantages of a system for a
particular problem that he wants to solve. This
handbook contains descriptions of over 30 of the
most well known finite elements systems available
plus some specialist systems. The capabilities and
facilities of the systems are described and
examples of their use given.
A feature of the handbook is the tables
providing essential information on the elements
provided in a system, the type of material models
available, which computer system the programs
will run on, names and addresses of system
providers, etc. The handbook also provides
information on pre- and post-processing
packages.
This handbook is an essential reference book
for engineers who need up-to-date information
on finite element systems and who wish to select
the most appropriate finite element system for
their work.
