FEAP implementation of ALE

[Colin McAuliffe]

Hi all,

Is there currently an implementation or are there plans to implement arbitrary lagrangian eulerian methods in FEAP?

all the best,
Colin

There not a current ALE implementation in FEAP and there are no current plans to develop one.  However, others have implemented ALE within FEAP; see e.g. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING 2003; v57:471–508 (DOI: 10.1002/nme.684)
