pfftt.... Young'ens and their high speed computers...
3D FEM in Ansys way back (is Ansys still around
) would have taken the better part of the morning to get answers for a simple strain analysis on a flat plate, computing nowadays allow you to play a million what-if games while getting coffee.
The engineers and geoscientists working for me can hardly believe it when I tell them we were doing "huge" finite difference 3D models with
10000 cells that would cost us day(s)... now they model 2-5 million cells in the half the time...
I guess that's a good thing... everyone does need time for coffee
OIC!
