Application of the finite element method
• Computation of static problems:
− mechanical, thermal, medial
− elastic, visco-elastic, hyperelastic, plastic, anisotropic,...
− in accordance with failure, stiffness and stability
• Computation of dynamic problems:
− eigenvalue problems
− harmonic and transient loads
− impact, crash
Analytical methods
