Grid Generation with Directional Scaling
For models and geometries where either one axis direction dominates, such as for long or tall geometry objects, or simulations where the solution is expected to not to vary in certain directions, such as some flow situations, it can be very beneficial to use anisotropic grids. By using elongated mesh elements the total …
Physics and FEA Simulations with Parameter Minimization
Featuring an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI), FEATool Multiphysics is also fully compatible with MATLAB functions and its scripting language. As simulation models both can be saved in a binary format and also as m-script language files, FEATool can therefore be used with all built-in MATLAB functionality as …
Inverse Modeling and Parameter Search Using the fzero MATLAB function
FEATool Multiphysics not only features an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI), but is also fully compatible with the MATLAB scripting language. Models can both be saved in binary format and MATLAB m-script files (every action in the GUI is recorded and has a one to one corresponding FEATool MATLAB function …
Parametric Study and Simulation using M-Script Model Files
Parametric studies can be very useful tools to clearly see how a model or simulation will behave under varying conditions. The following post presents a parametric study of the 3D bracket deflection model introduced previously where both the geometry, in this case plate thickness, and also the applied load force is …
