Dynamic analysis: The solution of the problem varies with time is known
as dynamic analysis.
11. What are the basic steps involved in the finite element modeling.
Discretization of structure and Numbering of nodes.
20. How do you calculate the size of the global stiffness matrix?
Global stiffness matrix size = Number of nodes X Degrees of freedom per node.
Required result can be obtained in graphical form. Contour diagrams can be used to
understand the solution easily and quickly.
