Abstract: System and method of converting geometric entities of 1D elements in a finite element model (FEM) from a source finite element analysis (FEA) tool format to a destination FEA tool format is disclosed. In one embodiment, coordinates of all the geometric entities associated with each 1D element in the FEM are transformed from the source FEA tool format to a global coordinate system. The geometric entities of the ID elements in the FEM are then converted from the source FEA tool format to the destination FEA tool format using the transformed coordinates of all the geometric entities associated with each 1D element.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a network device for performing DHCP release on behalf of a user in dynamic network environments. Specifically, a network device determines that a client device is no longer using a first Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to the client device. In response to the determining that the client device is no longer using the first IP address, the network device then generates a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) release message on behalf of the client device for removing the assignment of the first IP address to the client device. Moreover, the network device transmits the DHCP release message to a DHCP server.

Abstract: A system and method for selection of an equivalent one dimension (1D) element type in a finite element model (FEM) of a destination finite element analysis (FEA) tool for 1D elements in a FEM of a source FEA tool are disclosed. In one embodiment, 1D elements in the FEM of the source FEA tool are selected based on associated physical behavioral features. Further, shear stiffness factors associated with each selected 1D element in the FEM of the source FEA tool are extracted. Furthermore, the equivalent 1D element type in the FEM of the destination FEA tool is selected for each selected 1D element in the FEM of the source FEA tool based on the extracted shear stiffness factors for performing FEA.

Abstract: In some examples, a message is received from a wireless client device. The message includes an IP address of the wireless client device. It is determined whether an IP address offered by a DHCP server is the same as an IP address in a message received from the wireless client device. If the IP addresses are not the same, then a force renew DHCP message is sent to the wireless client device.
