TheFEAMan

This repository contains lecture notes, code examples, calculation resources, and tutorials related to Technical Mechanics and Finite Element Analysis. It's designed to be a learning resource for students and professionals interested in these fields. The subject cover topics such as linear and nonlinear FEA, technical mechanics, and topology optimization. The resources section includes reference to books, papers, and websites that can help you deepen your knowledge of Technical Mechanics and Finite Element Analysis. We welcome contributions from the community, so please feel free to submit pull requests or issues if you'd like to add your own code or resources to the repository.

It serves as FEA knowledge database and Know-How documentation as well as community processes.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool for solving complex engineering problems. But sometimes, it can also be a source of frustration for engineers who struggle to set up the simulation correctly and obtain reliable results. Plus, FEA can be a frustrating process of trial and error to get the simulation to converge and produce accurate results. That’s why some people jokingly call FEA “Frustration Engineering Algorithm”. In this repository, we will share some tips and tricks to make FEA less frustrating and hopefully more rewarding.

Contents Under Docs

The "docs" directory typically contains documentation related to the Finite Element Analysis software, analysis methods, or code. This may include user guides, installation instructions, API documentation, release notes, and other resources that help users understand and use the FEA software & simulation effectively. The "docs" folder is structured in a way that allows users to easily navigate and find the information they need, and may include subfolders and markdown files for better organization and readability. Overall, the "docs" folder is an important part of TheFEAMan repository aiming to help users get started with and use the software effectively.
