Models such as this housing can be divided along an axis of symmetry to reduce model size and run times. Each node supports translation along and rotation about an X, Y, and Z axis for a total of six ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

Creating accurate 1D models for high-performance motors is challenging because the motors’ performance is affected by nonlinear effects such as variation of flux-linkage with saturation and speed, as ...
