Tips for enhancing the FEM simulation skills

[Mech research]

Hi Guys,
May I seek help from FEM Simulation experts, which book or internet site is really good for sharpening the simulation skills and for better interpretation of static FEM Simulation results.
Thanks.

[FEA way]

The best book about practical aspects of FEA is "Building Better Products with Finite Element Analysis" by A. Askenazi and V. Adams. There's also an interesting project - book titled "Practical Finite Element Analysis for Mechanical Engineers" by D. Madier that will be released later this year.

And if you want to learn more about theoretical aspects of FEM, there's no single best book but I recommend these titles:
- "Introduction to the Finite Element Method" Ottosen
- "A First Course in Finite Elements" Fish, Belytschko
- "The Finite Element Method for Engineers" Huebner
- "A First Course in the Finite Element Method" Logan
- "Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering" Chandrupatla, Belegundu
- "Fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis" Hutton
- "Finite Element Procedures" Bathe

Also take a look at Enterfea and FEA for All blogs.
