Automation of Finite Element Methods [PDF ebook] 

New finite elements are needed as well in research as in industry environments for the


development of virtual prediction techniques. The design and implementation of novel finite


elements for specific purposes is a tedious and time consuming task, especially for nonlinear


formulations. The automation of this process can help to speed up this process


considerably since the generation of the final computer code can be accelerated by order of


several magnitudes.


This book provides the reader with the required knowledge needed to employ modern


automatic tools like Ace Gen within solid mechanics in a successful way. It covers the range


from the theoretical background, algorithmic treatments to many different applications. The


book is written for advanced students in the engineering field and for researchers in


educational and industrial environments.
