NFAP: The Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis Program. Users Manual; Version 1977

摘要

A brief outline of the analysis capability together with the input instructions are given for a nonlinear finite element analysis program called NFAP, which is an extended version of the NONSAP program. Extensions include additional element types, material models and several user's features as further described in the report. Similar to NONSAP, the NFAP program can be used for conducting linear or nonlinear analysis of various structures under static or dynamic loadings. Nonlinearities involve both nonlinear materials and large deformations. (ERA citation 04:005855)
