This book has become an industry standard for new and experienced engineers who need to learn how to better use any finite element analysis software. The unique blending of FEA theory with hands-on examples helps engineers gain insight into how FEA can help them be more effective. Scores of drawings, charts, graphs, equations, tables and other visual aids help make the theory less "heavy" than other engineering texts. Includes example disk in Algor format. A limited number of original, first printing copies are available.
