New Accurate 3-D Finite Element Technology for Solving Geometrically Complex Coupled-Field Problems

Avdeev I., Gyimesi M., Lovell M., Ostergaard D., University of Pittsburgh, US

Increased functionality of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has lead to the development of micro-scale devices that are geometrically complex. These complex configurations require the development of new and more efficient finite element (FE) techniques for modeling [...]

3D Modeling of Metallic Grain Growth

George D., Carlson N., Gammel J.T., Kuprat A., Los Alamos National Laboratory, US

This paper will describe simulating metallic grain growth using our Gradient Weighted Moving Finite Elements code, GRAIN3D. We also describe the set of mesh topology change operations developed to respond to changes in the physical [...]
