Development of a General-Purpose Program for Automatic Finite-Element Modelling with Quadrilateral Finite Elements

사각형 유한요소 해석모델의 자동생성 프로그램의 개발

A general-purpose program for automatic two-dimensional finite-element modelling with quadrilateral elements was developed in this research. The conventional looping method employed in the program was introduced with emphasis on a new splitting criterion and a splitting scheme developed for improving the method. Some application examples were given, which show versatility and applicability of the developed program.
