Fast computers, refined nonlinear solvers, and intuitive interfaces are making nonlinear FEA easier to use. This Algor MES of a conveyor-belt assembly uses a nonlinear hyperelastic material model for ...
• Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear (structural) FEA. Which designers need nonlinear FEA and why? Actually, projects ranging ...
