Analyze This

By using sophisticated simulation and analysis software, engineers can solve for more than one physical phenomenon at a time, saving considerable time and money in a variety of applications. Advanced simulation with design is becoming more accessible for larger companies with analysts on staff and for individual design engineers.

Building Bridges Using 3-D Modeling

Transporting extremely heavy loads over land involves serious logistics in any country. By transferring some of the load from the bridge roadway directly to the bridge piers, a French company and its German logistics partner were able to transfer loads weighing more than 400 tons from a Mediterranean port to a plant 150 km inland.

Meshless Computational Methods

Meshless Computational Methods

A meshless computational method is a way to solve complex engineering problems that does not require the time-consuming construction of a complex mesh that connects millions of nodes. Meshless methods are just as accurate as more standard approaches, such as finite difference/volume, finite element, and boundary element methods, and are also faster, simpler, and require far less data storage.

Modeling & Computational Methods is the use of computer science to digitally represent complex aspects of the “real world” and predict what will happen when forces are applied. Computational methods and modeling, in particular finite element modeling, is everywhere in engineering and science as well as in basic design processes. Some experts believe misuse of computer modeling exacerbated Wall Street’s 2008 mortgage-financing implosion and subsequent recession.
