Can WPF be used to perform finite element analysis?

Hi All,
We are using C#.net, WPF to build a visualization application to mathematically design 3d models for optimization and interface it with Pro E Wildfire. We are able to derive the unstructured wireframe of the model, but would like to view it with a structured
(uniform rectangular) wireframe. Also we want to see if there are ways in WPF with which one can peform stress / Force analysis on the 3d model. Is there any external API compatible with WPF available that can be made use of.
Every single direction/ clue is appreciated.
ThanKs n regards,
RM

  • LabVIEW and Finite Element Analysis

    I would like to know how people have used LabVIEW for/with finite element modeling (FEM), either LabVIEW itself or LabVIEW interacting with third-party FEM software.
    Sincerely,
    Don

    Don,
    I have not seen applications built in LabVIEW that perform finite element modeling. While I am not entirely familiar with the intricacies of FEM, I do know that the process entails a great deal of advanced mathematics. LabVIEW does have VIs for performing various math functions including differential equation solvers. If you wanted to use LabVIEW for FEM, you can also consider the use of the MathScript node and the MathScript window to write m-script code for these mathematical functions.
    I may be able to provide additional information if you could provide an example of your FEM application. How intricate is the model for the object that you will be modeling? For example, will you be analyzing forces and torques on a beam, or will you be modeling an asymmetrical collision of a car into a wall? Do you know the sort of calculations will your application entail?
    At this time, LabVIEW does not have an easy means of communicating with a 3rd party FEM software. Again I would ask in what respect you would like to interact with alternative software. Do you want to see a visual representation of the physical object that you are analyzing? LabVIEW can easily interact with SolidWorks software for 3D modeling, but not a software package that would perform finite element analysis. Would you like to develop a front panel for an analysis application that is performed in another software? This may be possible if we further discuss the details.
    Finally, I can encourage you to submit any product suggestions at the National Instruments Product Suggestion Center. Our LabVIEW developers carefully consider each of these suggestions, and any input you have as to how our application can better serve you would be greatly valued.
    I apologize that I do not have a more concrete answer for you, but I hope that this information was useful for you. Please let me know if you would like to discuss this application further. Thanks,

  • Diadem load Finite Element Analysis software

    hi,all.
      I want use diadem read  Finite Element Analysis software's grid files. I know dataplugs do  not support it.  i think the file may be read through GPI, but i don't know how to do it, could anyone tell me?
    Labview 7.0, 8.0, 8.6,8.6.1,2011

    Hello kkjmt,
    could you please describe what type of data you want to read from the file ? Is it geometry information describing the geometry of the mesh or do you want to read result data e.g. temperature calculated at a vertex of the mesh ? or both ? In any case it woul dbe helpful to see an example of the data file.

  • Finite element mesh?

    Hi,
    I am trying to draw a structure which I usually model using finite element analysis. In order to get high quality illustrations I was hoping to redraw it in illustrator. My problem is that I'd need a fill that creates only intact squares, in FE terms this is called advancing front mesher, i.e. squares are created starting at the outline and then work there way towads the centre. Is there a way to do that in illustrator? A standard "grid" fill doesn't work as it produces incomplete squares at the edges.
    thanks for help!

    Well hereis anotherway that might work for you I made a grid as before but this time a narrow one with say 4 Columns and 30 rows I expanded the grid, not sure that part is necessary. Then I went to Object >Envelop Distort >Make with Mesh gave it one column and 4 Rows of cousre it could be only one or tow or three rows or more if you wish.
    Then I use the direct select tool to form the shape I wanted rather than try to make the grid conform to the shape I simply shaped the grid.

  • Can't I use my Scanner with the Elements 10 editor without the organizer??

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a looong time to help me create the product images I need for my online business. It's been a love-love relationship... until I took advantage of a special offer and bought Elements 10. Now it seems the only way I can scan images is thru the Organizer.... and the organizer is something I don't need.
    Is there a way to scan my images thru the Editor only... and completely bypass the organizer (as I'm able to do with my older version of Elements)? Like a twain plugin I can install or something?
    I may scan 10 images and decide to use only 3 of them... and those are the only ones I save.
    With the way PSE10 is set up using the Organizer to scan, it's saving all 10 of them. Not to mention the extra steps of scanning thru the Organizer... (which means that pop-up window for my scanner every time), back over to the editor to pull the images in for editing, back to my files to delete the ones the organizer saved that I don't want... etc etc etc.
    It's like 5-6 extra steps altogether and a huge time-sink for me (you know the old saying... time is money).
    If there's no way to bypass the Organizer for scanning.... can I get a refund on my purchase? My older version of Elements works beautifully for me...  I was just hoping for  more sophisticated image editing capabilities.
    VERY frustrated right now.

    Thank you very much for your explanation which I fully understand.  Since a "fix", as you say, is not a solution might it not be a good idea to alert purchasers of the latest editions of Elements that they have an option to try this alteration to the installation in order to be able to import images from a scanner?  (My own experience with versions prior to 9 always worked perfectly!)  I do not know but does Photoshop CS5 allow the user to import images from a scanner or does the user have to use a similar solution to what applies to Photoshop Elements?  I find Elements to be a very good app and am sure it is a good selling product for Adobe for amateur/semi-pro users that the alternative that I suggest may be a useful tool for existing or new users who want or need the capability to import from a scanner rather than having to go through other more difficulty and time consuming ways of doing the same task.  Kindest regards and with my best intentions.

    It's not a "fix", exactly. The TWAIN plug-in causes a lot of crashing in PSE so in the past couple of versions adobe makes you install it if you want it.

  • Can we change the property of each element of an array using property node or by other methods?

    Hello all,
    Can we change the property of the elements of an array. For example:
    I have an array of combo-boxes. Can i have such a scenario that different combo-boxes of the array will have different items to select an item.
    I am able to set the different "values" in different combo-boxes bu using "to be more specific class" property node.
    But i could not set the different item list in different combo-boxes.
    Please give me the solution.

    Thanks a million dave!!!!!
    I have learnt a very new and innovative thing...
    I just wanna ask you one more question in the above context.
    Can i have listbox or combo-box in a table just like in an excel sheet where we can have listbox by using "data validation" property for different cells having different list.Can i have this in labview. Because for this i have to super-impose the combo-boxes on the table and treat them separately.
    We have to take those combo-box values and put in table and then store it.I have attached one VI to show the scenario.
    And this is the alternative solution of the array problem which u have already given. So please suggest me between the two or any alternative solution.
    Thanks,

  • An index can not being used and still afect a query performance?

    Hi i have a query with a high cost so i created two indexes, A and B, to improve its performance.
    After the creation of the indexes when i reviewed the execution plan of the query the cost had been reduced, but i noticed that the index B is not being used,
    and if i try to force the query to use index B with a HINT the cost increases, so i decided to drop the index B.
    Once i droped the index B i checked the execution plan again and then i noticed that the cost of the query increased, if i recreate the index B the explain plan
    shows a lower cost even though its not being used by the execution plan.
    Does anyone know why is this happening?

  • How can I use web-console and element inspector simultaneously in Firefox 20+ as I could in Firefox 19-?

    Yes, new web-developer all-in-one tools are total mess.
    I didn't find the answer to this question either https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955612 but downgrade to Firefox 19.
    But nor in Nightly, nor in Aurora, nor in Firefox Beta, nor in Firefox 20.0 I can use simultaneously web-console (where I test some style changing javascript code) and element inspector (where I instantly observe a reaction to my code). The only option I see is to switch every three seconds between them. How can I fix this except downgrading?

    You can consider to use the DOM Inspector extension instead of the built-in Inspector.

  • I can't use my scanner in Elements 12

    I am unable to use my scanner with Elements 12.  I moved the Twain plug in from the Optional Plug-in folder to the Plug-in folder but no luck  Not in editor or organizer

    Thank you-I looked at that article when I first started this project several hours ago. I called the scanner company and their tech support suggested it.  I moved the Twain Plug in as was suggested but I can’t seem to get the scanner to be recognized by PSE.  Any other suggestions?

  • How can I save a picture in Photoshop Elements that was emailed to me using Photoshop Elements?

    How can I save a picture in Photoshop Elements that was emailed to me using Photoshop Elements?

    Save the attachment in a folder.
    From the Organizer menu choose:
    File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Navigate to your image and click Open.
      If the photo is embedded, make a copy or screen grab and then whilst it’s still held in memory open the Elements Editor.
    From the menu click:
    File >> New >> Image from clipboard
    Then use File >> Save As
    Then choose jpeg.
