How to use non-dimensional form in open source codes instead of Units

Submitted by crg123 on

I am using an open source FEM platform, which requires you to convert your equation system to non-dimensional form. So, there are no units specified for the parameters in the problem. If you use compatible input units, you should expect the output in matching unit - just like one would do in a normal python or C++ code for solving physical problems. I have an elasto-plastic dynamic problem to solve, and these are the parameters for the Drucker-Prager Soil Model for soft clay.

Rectangular frame calculation by beam finite elements

Submitted by Arifdjanov Abdulla on

Beam elements are very widely used in structural engineering. Here we consider the methodology for calculating the rectangular frames with articulated or rigid nodes. The load is evenly distributed and concentrated.  The result is exactly the same with the results of the method of force and displacement method. A practical example of the calculation of the frame. The input data for the program will be the number of items and the number of degrees of freedom, geometrical and physical characteristics as well as the degrees of freedom of information for each item.
