The following alphabetical list of examples are provided to illustrate how users could use FEAP to solve some basic problems.

Contact Problems

A simple 2D example of a deformable indenter being pushed into a block of material

Coupled Thermo-mechanical Analyses

Buckling: Branch Switching

It is possible to Branch Switch in FEAP when using the arclength method.

Hill-Mandel Computations

FEAP has a facility for computing Hill-Mandel averages, stress and tangent tensor components. To use this facility one needs to have a periodic mesh.

Isogeometric Analyses

J-Integral Computation

FEAP has a facility for computing J Integrals (energy release rates) in elastic problems. The feature is slightly experimental so please verify that you are getting sensible answers for your class of problems before relying on it.

Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer boundary conditions

FEAP has a simple Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer boundary element that can be used to approximate a non-reflecting boundary in a transient computation.

Plate buckling

Plate buckling and shell buckling computations came be made using FEAP's linear shell element.

Spin boundary condition

A Spin boundary condition is possible via the use of the SPIN command within a LOAD GROUp

Static Analyses

Thermal Analyses

Example of a hollow thermal tube with external temperatures and inner fluxes

Example of a 3D hollow thermal tube with external temperatures and inner fluxes
