Client Finite Element Submission System

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for a client finite element analysis submission system wherein the method of transferring model information from client to finite element analysis professional or computational service provider is comprised of the steps:

• a. first step of the user creating one or more multiple analysis models wherein each analysis module will appear in the analysis tree as a separate branch, and wherein the user will have the ability to duplicate an analysis branch;
• b. the next step where the user will declare or create new analysis type;
• c. the next step where the user will declare material form predefined list or create custom material or materials;
• d. the next step where the user will define or create boundary conditions on the proposed design;
• e. the next step where the user will choose a delivery option and timeframe;
• f. the next step where the user will submit the job file package for a quote from the FEA professional or computational service provider;
• g. the next step wherein the server based software application receives the request for quotation;
• h. the next step wherein the server side application will return a quotation to the pre-processing package software for display of the quotation to the user;
• i. the next step where the user will reject the quote or accept the quote and specify the payment terms;
• j. the next step wherein the FEA professional, computational service provider, or server based application returns a submission receipt to the user and an email stating job number and other details;
• k. the next step wherein the FEA professional, computational service provider, or server based application returns a completion email to the user containing a link for downloading a results file;
• l. the next step where the user will download results file or select the required results from the user interface;
• and
• m. the final step where the user will review results file.
