A truly three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model for the analysis of a complex commercial automotive muffler requires several hundred nodes and elements, resulting in tedious data preparation and solution of a large number of simultaneous equations.
Originally, CityCat was developed and compiled as a 32-bit application using Borland Delphi [19], under the Windows operating system with an integrated Graphical User Interface (GUI) for data preparation and visualisation of results.
RC participated in the design of the study, data preparation and analysis of results and drafted the manuscript.
In this part, the results from data preparation for ANN model construction, ANN training and testing, and sensitivity analysis (regarding the impact of weighting factors in the objective function on the optimization results) are presented.
Analysis is an interactive and iterative process and we demonstrate that the expert user can focus on model results, not data preparation, by using a web application to rapidly create, tune, and calibrate hydrological models anywhere in the continental USA (CONUS).
Preliminary univariate analyses (within informant) using a correlated factors model (S*R*S') (Gaussian decomposition) showed no deviation from the basic assumption of equality of means and variances across twins and across zygosity groups in any of the informants' scores (results of data preparation analyses are available upon request).
AA: carried out the research work including the writing of the draft articles, data preparation, manipulation and analysis of the results.
It works in the MATLAB environment and consists of five processing stages: data preparation, semivariogram computation, kriging, visualization, and results saving.
Finite element frame analysis programs targeted for design office application necessitate algorithms which can deliver reliable numerical convergence in a practical timeframe with comparable degrees of accuracy, and a highly desirable attribute is the use of a single element per member to reduce computational storage, as well as data preparation and the interpretation of the results.
