It includes all necessary information’s you need to know while doing a FEA analysis from building up your model to postprocessing and understanding analysis results. It also includes the verification checks to make sure that your model is correctly builded up. It is highly recommended to all FEA Engineers.

When Dominique started talking about his book project, he intrigued me a lot and I started following him. I knew his book would become a reference for all FEA engineers because it is the result of decades of experience.
When I received my copy, I had confirmation. Extremely accurate, with many illustrations, a little bit of theory and a lot of practical examples, It provides what an FEA engineer needs to be able to be autonomous in structural analysis.
If you are an aspiring engineer you can't miss it, I highly recommend it.
