FEA description

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document is a detailed guide on an advanced nonlinear and detail analysis program for civil and building structures, focusing on finite element analysis (FEA). It covers geometry modeling, mesh generation, analysis, and post-processing.

Geometry Modeling
This section explains advanced modeling functions for both top-down and bottom-up approaches in surface and solid modeling. Techniques include line, arc, circle, polygon, and B-Spline for curves; plane patch, Coons patch, and NURBS patch for surfaces; and box, wedge, cylinder, and sphere for solids. Advanced operations like extrude, revolve, loft, and sweep are also discussed.

Mesh Generation
The document describes methods for mesh generation, including automatic surface and solid meshing, mapped mesh generation, and hybrid meshing. It highlights meshing algorithms like Loop Mesher, Grid Mesher, and Delaunay Mesher, and discusses H-Morph and Sub-mapped Meshing techniques.

Analysis
This section outlines various analyses such as static analysis, construction stage analysis, moving load analysis, and modal analysis. It covers element libraries, load and boundary conditions, and arbitrary loading functions, explaining linear static analysis, eigenvalue analysis, and dynamic analysis, including transient response analysis.

Post-processing
Post-processing involves interpreting analysis results, visualizing data, and generating reports.

Data Exchange
The document discusses CAD data exchange standards like STEP and IGES, detailing import and export capabilities for geometry and analysis model data.

Conclusion
The program provides an integrated solution for advanced analysis in civil structural CAE, capable of handling complex simulations involving material and geometric nonlinearity, contact, heat transfer, fatigue, and more.
Nonlinear Analysis
This section covers nonlinear analysis methods, including boundary nonlinear analysis with elements like dampers and viscous boundaries. It discusses frequency response analysis methods such as direct and modal frequency response, and spectrum response analysis using SRSS, CQC, and ABS methods.

Material Nonlinearity Analysis
Material models such as von Mises, Tresca, and Mohr-Coulomb are discussed. Nonlinear behaviors like hardening and softening are analyzed using iteration methods like Full Newton-Raphson and Arc-Length Method.

User-Supplied Materials
Users can define their own material models via a Fortran-coded library, supporting nonlinear elastic and elasto-plastic behaviors.

Geometry Nonlinearity Analysis
Methods such as Updated Lagrangian and Total Lagrangian are used, with iteration methods similar to material nonlinearity analysis.

Interface Nonlinearity Analysis
This includes models like Coulomb Friction and Bond-Slip, focusing on deformation between steel and concrete interfaces.

Reinforcement Analysis
Discusses embedded reinforcements and their stress analysis in concrete girders.

Cracking Analysis
Covers cracking models and results, including crack patterns and element status.

Heat of Hydration Analysis
Analyzes visco-elastic models and heat transfer methods, including steady-state and transient conduction.

Fatigue Analysis
Methods like S-N and E-N are used to calculate cycles to failure and safety factors.

Quality Assurance & Control
Describes system tests, verification of element formulation, and regression tests to ensure quality.

Post-processing
Provides comprehensive support for visualization and interpretation, including contour plots, deformed shapes, and result extraction. Features include flexible user control, multiple plots, and state-of-the-art report generation.
