Caracterización del software libre de elementos finitos ELMER en aplicaciones de Ingeniería Mecánica

Abstract

This research arises from the need to understand and evaluate the performance of the program ELMER free license used for the solution of partial differential equations using numerical finite element method in the field of mechanical engineering. In order to characterize this program is discussed in several cases the field of heat transfer in solid mechanics and fluid dynamics; the results obtained through this program will be validated through commercial programs and numerical methods by the analytical solution thereof.
