There are many books available. Most books are written for teaching graduate courses and mostly emphasize on theory. Do you know any book which provides explanation about practical aspects of modelling and implementation?
I will take a look at this book as it had been endorsed twice in this thread:)
Liu, G.R. & Quek, S.S. - The Finite Element Method - A practical course - ABAQUS - Butterworth Heinemann.
Here are 2 books which covers programming aspects as well:
MATLAB Codes for Finite Element Analysis: Solids and Structures
Volume 157 of Solid Mechanics and Its Applications
Author António J. M. Ferreira , Springer, 2008
MATLAB Guide to Finite Elements: An Interactive Approach
Author Peter I. Kattan
Publisher Springer, 2010
Hello,
Yes, it is. But it is in Romanian language... I and my colleague are using this book at seminar lessons, containing 14 apps for CATIA and 30-40 pages of theory of FEA. On the other hand, now we want to finish another collection of tutorials (structural, modal, thermal...) using Ansys.
Hi,
you can refer to these books:
1- Introduction to finite element analysis using matlab and abaqus (2013)
2- The finite element method: A practical course
Thank you every one for the suggestions
@Haidar and @Farhad.
All the books you have mentioned are good books. However, the question was about the books which discuss practical modeling (implementation issues) .
Among the books I have seem, I like a rather old book by Robert D. Cook
Cook, R. D. (1995). Finite element modeling for stress analysis: Wiley.
Dr. Cook has another book which is thought in many universities :
Cook, R. D. (2007). CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS, 4TH ED: Wiley India Pvt. Limited.
but the latter is more practice oriented.
One of the best books I have come across is this:
Practical Finite Element Analysis by Nitin Gokhale.
He's an authority on this topic and has an extensive experience in this field. The book has essential theoretical background for engineers and several practical examples. you can check the link:

You can't get better than this. All others have emphasis on theoretical aspects of FEA and delve little into the actual use in field. in my opinion, this book gives you what you are looking for.
hope it helps.
Best,
Hello Behrouz
Most of the software have great examples from practical applications...
I have a presentation uploaded in my site under title as "Train to Vein" narrates some good examples from practical application across multiple products... Some of my other presentations too have good examples from my experience across products...
Pl. reach out to me, if you need any other materials that interest you and I can be of help.
Kindest Regards
I would second Cook's 'Concepts and applications of finite element analysis'. It covers all the formal FEM that is required, but also describes a lot of practical implications of different element formulations as well as some of the best practices for good FEM modelling. The organization of the topics in the book is not as usual, but it is a VERY GOOD book.
I recommend the following book
The Finite Element Method in Engineering
Fifth Edition by Singiresu S. Rao 2011
It deals with practical modelling examples-problems using ABAQUS, ANSYS and MATLAB. Very good and friendly book.
I recommend the following book. It was intended to instruct engineers at Bell Labs. Very practical!
Finite Element Analysis, From Concepts to Applications
David S. Burnett
Addison Wesley Publishing Company
I am not sure if I understood well the Behrouz question on the kind of practical stuff.
Anyway, from my experience, some of that subjects of Modelling Techniques are in general enough addressed in the book from (mentioned by Farhad)

Most of the ideas presented along this book (but more at chapter 11 Modelling Techniques pp246) are equally useful for many others commercial or in-house/academic software. See the book and if it is not what you need then you may give me some more details on the practical stuff you are looking for. For too specific stuff, it requires the exploration of the software manual which sometimes is hard and will not appear at books.
Nowadays, some of the classical procedures are being replaced as for e.g. the meshes need for joining two or more volumes may be nowadays performed quickly by (contact) penalty methods available on most of Workbench environments. For these advanced procedures I recommend high caution and check it carefully with a similar analysis in a simple case which you may perform a comparison with classical modelling.
I will take a look at this book as it had been endorsed twice in this thread:)

This is one of best finite element fundamental book. http://civilebook.com/finite-element-procedures-bathe/
IF you talking about software applications, then you can check the manuals
Practical Finite Element Analysis by Sanjay S Deshpande, Nitin S Gokhale, Sanjeev V Bedekar is one of best practical guide for various modelling techniques one should use for modeling in FEA. The book covers all the practical aspects of meshing, geometrical modeling and results interpretation
Finite element analysis and design of metal structures

This is a very nice book
