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
