I found that Sonnenhof Holdings offers a 1300 node affordable FEA software, but can't find any independent reviews. Has anyone used this software and is there any testing for its accuracy of results?
I've had a bit of a look at it. The user interface has improved by a factor of a million since I last used it, to the extent it now look and acts like any other windows program. Capabilities seem rather good in fact, I particularly like the way it distributes nodal loads. I'll check the accuracy for couple of simple cases tonight, and try and mesh an STP file. If it does all that, they get my beer vouchers.
Cheers
