Summary: The blog article discusses the differences between line girder analysis and the finite element approach. It also helps the readers understand the most recommended method using simple examples. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or ...

In the FEM, the most critical question is “how many meshes do we need to get the correct (or reasonable) results?”
Continuing on to the third part of this multi-part blog, another option is a quadrilateral element. As always, let’s start with an example.
For the previous example, we can use high-order triangular elements. This element has six nodes per element and assumes the displacement is ...
The scary part of FEM is sometimes FEM gives wrong results without any error message. The analysis may be meaningless if an engineer cannot ...
