Utilization of a PC for Finite Element Modeling

Abstract

This document provides an individual that has no finite element experience and/or NISA II program experience with a more clarified user's manual, highlighting the problem areas the author encountered, and some comparisons between NISA answers and those provided by theory or another finite element program (GTSTRUDL). Appendix A provides a list of the equipment required to operate the NISA II program and appendix B provides an idea of the time required to perform analyses of various sizes. Keywords: Computer program documentation, Personal computer. (kr)
