Sub-modeling techniques implemented in commercial finite element codes were reviewed. New sub-modeling applications in structural mechanics stress analysis are presented. Sub-modeling methods based on displacement and force cut boundary application are compared. Advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed. The case of nested sub-models is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
