Finite Element System

Abstract

The new powerful large scale general purpose finite element programme system SESAM‐80, is designed to meet the challenges of numerical analysis in engineering in the 1980s. The capabilities include linear and non‐linear static and dynamic analysis, field problems including heat transfer, hydroelasticity electro‐magnetism, etc. The programme is specifically adapted for application of the multi‐level super‐element technique which gives efficient means of modelling and analysis of large and complex structures. Special emphasis is placed in the development of efficient and user oriented batch and interactive pre‐ and post‐processors. In order to meet the requirements of different industries, the SESAM‐80 programmes are adapted in turn key packages for the offshore industry, the ship industry, mechanical industry, etc.
