Features: This book is neither a discussion of finite element theory nor a specialized treatment of boiler structure problems. Instead, it focuses on introducing how to better use the finite element tool to solve boiler structure engineering problems. The book provides only a brief overview of the fundamental theories of finite elements, with a primary emphasis on how to apply relevant software for engineering analysis. The numerous case studies presented in the book are all derived from actual engineering practice, making them highly practical. The book primarily elaborates on how to better use finite element analysis software (ANSYS, ALGOR) to solve boiler structure engineering problems. It offers only a brief overview of the fundamental theories of finite elements, with a primary emphasis on how to apply software for engineering analysis. The numerous case studies presented in the book are all derived from actual engineering practice, making them highly practical. This book is suitable for engineering technicians engaged in boiler research, design and development, and inspection, as well as postgraduate and undergraduate students in relevant fields at universities. It can also serve as a reference for beginners in finite element analysis, professional analysts, and researchers.
