SAE Transactions, Vol. 100, Section 5: JOURNAL OF MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING (1991), pp. 1070-1089 (20 pages) An approach for the automatic generation and refinement of three dimensional finite element ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

Finite-element analysis, or the finite-element method (FEM) as we will call it, hides plenty of traps for uninitiated users. Errors that come from idealization and meshing a part can be bad enough to ...

Novel semiconductor technologies are creating complex process flows, which are needed to support the manufacturing of advanced 3D semiconductor structures. It can be helpful to model process flows, ...
