This paper on "ANSYS Results for Some Selected NAFEMS Benchmarks" was presented at the International Conference on Quality Assurance and Standards in Finite Element Analysis - 13-15 May 1987, The Grand Hotel, Brighton.

Introduction to Paper

The National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards has issued several reports describing sets of benchmarks for the validation of commercial finite element systems. This report details the results of the ANSYS finite element program to the benchmarks described in the report number FEBSTA Rev. 1 titled "Selected Benchmark Tests for Finite Elements in Structural and Thermal Analysis" by J. Barlow and G. A. O. Davies.
