could anyone tell me what is the reccomend load for testing shelves deflexion according the BIFMA X5.5 code? thanks

how about www.cosmos.com

Does anyone has an idea of the distribution of the different sofwares in the FEA market??What part does each compagny holds?? Let's say for general purpose mid-level sofware, like algor, ansys, mscnastran, NeNastran, cosmos an any other that would fit in that category. I know the numbers will...

merci à vous tous

I've been told by some people that Algor's FEA is'nt reliable, could anyone tune me on this??

the analysis will be on shelving system, made out of sheet metal. They will be static non-linear analysis. No, we don't have a separate program for pre and post processing, I think Ansys comes with it's own program and as for nastran, we would use femap 8.2 no, we won't be joining analysis...

I have to buy an FEA software, but I'm not able to choose between ansys, msc.nastran and NeNastran. My question is address to people with experience on these sofwares, which one would you reccomand? thanks

My compagnie put me in charge of finding an FEA software that will allow us to run analyses on our shelving systems. Being new to FEA, I'm trying to gather all the valuable information (as opposed to junk)I can. We built metal shelng systems out of thin metal sheets (0.03")which are...

If you want easy to use sofware, Algor has a nice product at a reasonable price. It is perfectly compatible with autodesk product and other modellers. (5-12K) Cosmos/designstar is also interesting, but limited on non-linear analyses. It is also perfectly compatible with most modellers. (+/-...

Does anyone has actually seen the new ansys release?? It is supposed to be as easy as designspace to use, but with all the power of ansys professionel.I would like to have that confirm by someone who isn't an ansys dealer. thanks

design can actually import sheet metal piece from autodesk inventor without any problem, but you have to be carefull, because designspace cannot deal with large deflexion, so if your part is pretty thin, the result you will et won't be valid. In order to get a good result, you must use ansys...
