Models such as this housing can be divided along an axis of symmetry to reduce model size and run times. Each node supports translation along and rotation about an X, Y, and Z axis for a total of six ...

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has emerged as an indispensable tool in the study and design of power cables and submarine cable systems. By subdividing complex cable assemblies into discrete, ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
