RE: Looking for IDEAS tutorial to assist FEA indentation analysis??

The best way to learn about any FEA code is to create your own custom tutorial problems. Make up some simple problems with know solutions that you can work out for yourself using a pencil and paper, then create a few FEA model idealizations. The bottom line is "if you can't solve a problem with a pencil & paper, you will never be able to solve problems with a computer". As a 2nd approach look around on other FEA web sites and download their tutorial problems. Try to duplicate the results using your code. See this site for starters.
