About this title

Synopsis

This tutorial goes beyond the standard software manual because its unique approach concurrently introduces you to COSMOSWorks 2008 software and the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through hands-on exercises. A number of projects are presented using commonly used parts to illustrate the analysis features of COSMOSWorks.

This book covers the following FEA functionality of COSMOSWorks 2008:

Linear static analysis of parts and assemblies

• Frequency (modal) analysis
• Buckling analysis
• Thermal analysis
• Drop test analysis
• Optimization analysis
• Nonlinear analysis
• Dynamic analysis
