Examples
-
In thermal analyses using advanced methods such as finite-element models, the design ATI is usually represented by a time series or sine curve that combines an average winter (AFI2) and a design summer.
Engineering design for a changing climate in the Arctic 2009
-
The Arctic Ocean models represent a wide spectrum of numerical approaches, employing either finite-difference (in most cases) or finite-element approximations, and three types of vertical coordinates: z (constant geopotential surfaces), sigma (bathymetry-following), and isopycnal (constant potential density referenced to a given pressure).
-
The quality assurance requirements imposed on the scientific software important to waste isolation, such as the finite-element climate and water infiltration codes for example, are very similar to what you have listed above.

Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY. PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that its CATIA brand has been chosen by Terrafugia, creators of the revolutionary Transition® Roadable Aircraft, for 3D composite and finite-element modeling.
-
Meshes of this type are chiefly used in finite-element simulation codes, but also have many other applications ranging from computer graphics to robotics.
-
The new software combines the accuracy of finite-element analysis (FEA) simulation with a design entry system that creates full 3D models of electric motors or generators.

In the case of vulcanized rubber the large deformations involved rendered similar calculations impossible at the time, although such calculations were carried out much later by Lindley using finite-element methods.
