What Is Geometric Nonlinearity?

September 14, 2015

If you perform structural mechanics analyses, then you have most likely encountered the concept of geometric nonlinearity. But what exactly does geometric nonlinearity mean?

Modeling a Stacked Piezoelectric Actuator in a Valve

May 13, 2015

Piezoelectric valves are energy efficient, durable, and fast. You can model a key component of this device responsible for opening and closing the valve: a stacked piezoelectric actuator.

Simulating the Insertion of a Snap Hook

March 31, 2015

Snap hooks, a type of fastener that involves the insertion of a hook into a slot, are found in the automotive industry. Simulation can be used to analyze their insertion and removal.
