What does ELECD stand for?

A companion web site provides 400 practice problems and demonstrations of finite element codes in MAPLE and MATLAB.

This manual documents the development of an elastoplastic damage model for wood, as used in roadside safety structures, and its implementation into LS-DYNA, a commercially available finite element code.

GAO assessed (1) whether the RDT&E program element code structure and the associated budget exhibits provide accurate, consistent, complete, and clear information, and (2) what factors contribute to any problems found.

Over a 30 year history of development, the ANSYS program has evolved from an original finite element code designed for computers with limited memory to solve modest problems with several thousand equations to the current software system which is routinely used to solve problems with hundreds of thousands to several million equations.

A trio of statistically designed studies investigated the sensitivity of a dynamic finite element code to material parameter inputs.

As a result of this effort, 22 transaction sets have been defined that consist of approximately 124 segments, 236 elements and 2,239 element codes.
