To do finite element method calculation in Mathcad . can any budy provide tutorial

for example

  1. define k1 and k2
  2. Generate Global stiffness matrix k
  3. findig unknowndeflection (d) by kd= f
  4. finding Reaction force
  5. finding stress

To solv problem using mathcad like

  1. analysis of rectangular plate with dicretize in tringular element
  2. alalysis of plate with hole with dicretize in tringular element

This is my email id -

please provide .............

Try to use search on PTC's page "Mathematical Engineering Resources" by "Finite Element" keyword, here: http://www.ptc.com/appserver/search/mathcad.jsp?&q=Finite%20Element

P.S. Also you can find a "Finite Element Beginnings" in the attachment.

Dear Bipin,

MathCad is a fantastic tool for the toolbox.

One of the most effective lessons to learn is hammer is for hammering, screw drivers for screws.

LISA - Free/Affordable Finite Element Analysis Software

www.lisa-fet.com/

LISA is a free finite element analysis software package limited to 1300 nodes; the node limit can be removed for $80.

Yes good value that $80 for fully functioning finite element program.

I use "Strand 7" which costs more but is the best interface for input and output on the market but is more than $80 but still very reasonable and affordable in commercial setting.

You can use Mathcad to write text input files to this software and the LISA software has far more finite element analysis power like interactive input on the screen, easy graphical output and has many more element types than triangles.

In a commercial setting always best to use the right tools for the job.

Regards

Terry Hendicott.
