Synopsis

This book presents a complete specification of a neutral file for exchange of product analysis data. The topics covered are wider than any previous standard in this area and include the finite element mesh, properties, loads, constraints, analysis selection, output control, substructuring and results, for static, thermal and dynamic analyses. The specification is presented in both formal and informal ways. The syntax is formally described in Backus-Naur Form and a reference model for the data is given in an information modelling language called Express. These formal methods are state-of-the-art and facilitate the automatic generation of software tools to read and write the neutral files. In addition, an informal description and an example are given for each entity. The topic is treated in enough depth to enable the reader to implement the specification. The book also includes a chapter which looks at the problems of transforming CAD geometry into a suitable form for input to a finite element mesh generator. Some initial heuristic rules are presented.
