Are Finite Element Softwares Reliable ?

Submitted by mohammedlamine on

Hello,

Some Finite Element Softwares use the Formulation of an Element and Jump to another one

by Merging Nodes : Quadrilateral to Triangular and Hexahedral to Tetrahedral without modifying

the Shape Functions.

This Method is Mathematically and Numericaly Forbidden because they use the Same Shape Functions

when Merging the Nodes for the Defined First Element (see Element Definition and after Mesh Process).

Abaqus on Windows 8

Submitted by pramudiyanto on

hi,

I'm a newbie in Abaqus, but I think I have a great passion to explore this software a bit deeper. One problem is coming when I try to install Abaqus 6.11-2 on Windows 8 64bit operating system. It stuck on the pre-installation system check, and when I click on Next, the installation has topped. Has anyone got the same problem like these? Need a little help to solve this problem. Thank you
