Analysis, Geometry, Nonlinear Optimization

Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI), a structural and earthquake engineering software company, has released 18.0.1 version of Bridge 2016, is specialized analysis and design software tailored for the engineering of bridge systems.

FunctionBay, Inc., a professional CAE company and provides MultiBody Dynamics (MBD) software, announced the release of RecurDyn V8R2, is CAE software that is focused on Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) while also offering multi-physics solutions.

Altair has launched SimSolid 2019.1.0, is structural analysis software developed specifically for design engineers. It eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, the two most time-consuming and expertise-extensive tasks done in traditional FEA, enabling the analysis of fully-featured CAD assemblies in minutes without meshing.

MSC Software Corporation, a part of Hexagon, has introduced new interoperability enhancements between MSC Apex and MSC Nastran. The implementation of a new Faceted Body Toolset enables CAE analysts to automatically regenerate geometry from meshes without the need for manual CAD model recreation.

Altair has launched SimSolid 2019.2.1, is structural analysis software developed specifically for design engineers. It eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, the two most time-consuming and expertise-extensive tasks done in traditional FEA, enabling the analysis of fully-featured CAD assemblies in minutes without meshing.

Altair has launched SimSolid 2019.3.0, is structural analysis software developed specifically for design engineers. It eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, the two most time-consuming and expertise-extensive tasks done in traditional FEA, enabling the analysis of fully-featured CAD assemblies in minutes without meshing.

MSC Software recently released 2019.0 of its flagship finite element analysis (FEA) solver, Nastran, a multidisciplinary structural analysis application for performing linear and non-linear static, dynamic and thermal analysis.

Motivated by practical problems in engineering and physics, drawing on a wide range of applied mathematical disciplines, this book is the first to provide, within a unified framework, a self-contained comprehensive mathematical theory of duality for general non-convex, non-smooth systems, with emphasis on methods and applications in engineering mechanics.
