摘要
The finite element method provides a powerful procedure to mathematically model physical phenomena. The technique is numerically formulated and is effectively used on a broad range of computers. The method has increased in both popularity and functionality with the development of user friendly pre- and post-processing software. Preprocessing software is used to create the model, generate an appropriate finite element grid, apply the appropriate boundary conditions, and view the total model. Post-processing provides visualization of the computed results. This paper addresses the pertinent issues of pre- and post-processing for finite element analysis. It reviews the capabilities that are provided by pre- and post-processors and suggests enhancements and new features that will likely be developed in the near future.
