Engineering Analysis with Cosmosworks 2007

This tutorial concurrently introduces you to COSMOSWorks software and the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis through hands-on exercises. A number of projects are presented using commonly used parts to illustrate the analysis features of COSMOSWorks. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Static analysis of a plate 3. Static analysis of an L-bracket 4. Frequency analysis of a thin plate with shell elements 5. Static analysis of a link 6. Frequency analysis of a tuning fork 7.
