Features: The content of this book reflects the basic ideas of using integrated CAD/CAE software for structural analysis and optimization design. It is an invaluable reference for engineering professionals engaged in mechanical dynamic design, and can also serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students at universities studying finite element analysis courses. The book provides a detailed introduction to the general process and usage of using Pro/MECHANICA for structural analysis. The main contents include: Fundamentals of Pro/MECHANICA, introductory examples, automatic meshing, definition of material properties, definition of constraints, definition of loads, beam model analysis, thin shell model, sensitivity analysis and optimization design, plane problem analysis, symmetric problem handling, structural dynamics analysis, buckling analysis, preliminary fatigue analysis, introduction to the FEM module, and standalone mode, etc. The main features of this book are: clear and concise explanations with emphasis on key points; rich examples that are easy to learn and understand. The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the example files from the book.
