Abstract
The paper presents Global Flexibility Simulation approach and Element Stiff ness Simulation (ESS) to simulate finite element analysis with neural netwo rks. Principal procedures of ESS approach, which includes network construct ion, constrain application, network solving and network learning, are prese nted according to conventional finite element analysis procedures. Simulati on results are then compared with FEM results. The effect of analysis scale is also discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
