Inhaltsangabe

This textbook is intended to cover the fundamentals of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of mechanical components and structures using the SolidWorks Simulation. It is written primary for the engineering students, engineers, technologist and practitioners who have little or no work experience with SolidWorks Simulation. It is assumed that the readers are familiar with the fundamentals of the strength of materials as offered in an introductory level course in a typical undergraduate engineering program. However, the basic theories and formulas have been included in this text as well. This textbook can be adopted for an introductory level course in Finite Element Analysis offered to students in mechanical and civil engineering and engineering technology programs. The Direct Stiffness Method is used to develop the bar, truss, beam and frame elements. Both analytical and simulation solutions are presented through examples and tutorials to ensure that readers understand the fundamentals of FEA and the simulation software. It is strongly recommended that readers always find a way to verify the FEA simulation results. In this textbook, the simulation results are verified for the truss, beam and frame structures using the analytical approaches through the Direct Stiffness Method. However, readers must consider that in many engineering problems, they have to deal with complicated geometries, loadings, and material properties which make it very difficult, if not impossible, to solve the problem using analytical methods. Table of Contents Chapter 1 Basic Background Chapter 2 Fundamentals of SolidWorks Simulation Chapter 3 Solid Element, Convergence Test and Adaptive Meshing Chapter 4 Direct Stiffness Method and Truss Analysis Chapter 5 Beams and Frames Analysis Chapter 6 2D Simplified Elements and Thin Part Analysis Chapter 7 Assembly Analysis with Contact Sets Chapter 8 Assembly Analysis with Connectors Chapter 9 Frequency Analysis
