Foreword by Dr. Sonell Shroff

I have been working with Finite Element Analysis software for the past decade and as our understanding of the subject and its utility has increased over time, so have the number of software and the analysis types. As a user and further, as a university teacher for master's students, I have spent a good amount of effort to get familiarized with multiple software platforms to get, in effect, the same result for structural problems. What concerns me most while imparting whatever knowledge I can to the students during the few hours of lessons is to be certain that once they leave that classroom, would they be able to become engineers who do not just work out the problems that face them, but solve them efficiently? When Raphael contacted my boss at the university for a recommendation of a reviewer in the field for this book, fortunately, I was instantly put in contact with him. It is part of my courses to teach the students how to debug a model and what are the best ways to categorize the errors that they encounter. Coincidently, ABAQUS is one of the most popular softwares we use a
