Finite Element Analysis
 Programmed interface to a commercially available FEA program means that you can perform numerical simulations by simply filling in data entry boxes - nominate your indenter shape and size, film thickness, E, Y and v, and press the button - the software automatically builds the mesh, arranges contact elements, and performs a  non-linear elastic-plastic analysis. Full stress field, and a load displacement curves are provided as outputs.
