Publisher's Synopsis
This book has been written for students who want to use SolidWorks¬software while learning the finite element method. It is also suitable for designers and engineers before using the software in order to analyse realistic problems. Presented in a lucid manner, the book comprehends the theory of finite element method and the use of SolidWorks¬ simulation. Spread over twelve chapters it describes finite element methods for solving structural mechanics, heat transfer and fluid flow problems. It is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students in mechanical, aeronautical, civil and chemical engineering, as well as researchers.
