Introduction to Finite Element Analysis Using MATLAB and Abaqus

ethod while keeping a balanced approach between its mathematical formulation, programming implementation and as its application using commercial software. The computer implementation is carried out using MATLAB, while the practical applications are carried out in both MATLAB and Abaqus. MATLAB is a high-level language specially designed for dealing with matrices, making it particularly suited for programming the finite element method. In addition, it also allows the reader to focus on the finite element method by alleviating the programming burden. Experience has shown that books that include programming examples that can be implemented are of benefit to beginners. This book also includes detailed step-by-step procedures for solving problems with Abaqus interactive and keyword editions.
