Modal analysis is called the mother of all dynamic analysis because modal analysis is a prerequisite before performing any dynamic analysis. The modal analysis captures the dynamic characteristics of the vibrating system like natural frequency and mode shapes. The natural frequency is the inherent frequency of the vibrating system at which the system tends to […]
Read MoreCloud computing is an umbrella term that encapsulates the computing services that are accessed via internet on-demand basis; the computing resources including-servers, data storages and networking capabilities for such services can be located at the same location or different parts of the world which are termed as data centers and are managed by the Cloud […]
Read MoreMeshing is the most crucial part of finite element analysis. When the geometry is complicated, it becomes difficult to handle the mesh efficiently. It is always good to have an easy method through which we can import the mesh. In our lab, we mainly work with the open source finite element analysis software FEniCS. In […]
Read MoreAnything that has not been tried before seems a nightmare to start, may be that can be said for the coding as well. But, one has to start at some point and possibly this can be a good time to do so; here we will be discussing about two of the very standard yet simple […]
Read MorePatterns can be printed in python using simple for loops. The first outer loop is used to handle number of rows and the Inner nested loop is used to handle the number of columns. Manipulating the print statements, different number patterns, alphabet patterns or star patterns can be printed. By printing different patterns, you can build […]
Read MoreMarkdown is a lightweight and popular Markup language for writing a web page, blogs, documents by using a plain-text editor. It’s a simple way to format without any burden of changing font size, color, etc. Its files can easily be shared between different devices and people. I’ve used Jupyter Notebook for my work. Writing BoldTo write in […]

Terminal is a command line interface that lets user to access files and accomplish tasks on computer without the use of a graphical user interface (GUI). It lets user accomplish tasks without even making a single click on the mouse that makes the working more efficient. In general, what we see in Windows and Mac […]
Read MoreStoring the element connectivity, element nodes, nodal degrees of freedom etc.. are of significant importance in any numerical package which implements finite element analysis. And this constitutes the data structure of FEM. In this post, I will try to explain how FEniCS does this.
Read MoreHere I am trying to present an intuitive understanding about the need, importance and purpose of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), which was developed in 2005 as an alternate/extension of classical FEM.
