Studying Stiffness Equation Assembly and Solution

Studying Stiffness Equation Assembly and Solution

The procedure of assembling and solving the global stiffness equations can be studied using this software. You can not only examine the contents and the characteristics of the global stiffness matrix, but also experience the step-by-step process of assembling and solving equations based on various assembly schemes. Different assembly methods can be compared with each other. Each entry of an element stiffness matrix can be studied in conjunction with the global stiffness matrix. The overall pro c e d u re from assembling the stiffness matrix and the force vector to solving equations can be simulated either by automatic control or by manual drag-and-drop manipulation. The meaning and effects of node number optimization and element number optimization can be understood easily using this function.
