Development with the Fourier series: easy 3D
The three-dimensional behavior analysis of structures exhibiting axisymmetrical geometry and submitted to any type of loading has been made possible thanks to an automatic Fourier series decomposition of the magnitudes characterizing the problem.

  • Automatic Fourier series decomposition of the circumferential distribution of applied forces,
  • Visualization of results in the axial plan of the user's choice.
