New finite elements are needed as well in research as in industry environments for the

development of virtual prediction techniques. The design and implementation of novel finite

elements for specific purposes is a tedious and time consuming task, especially for nonlinear

formulations. The automation of this process can help to speed up this process

considerably since the generation of the final computer code can be accelerated by order of

several magnitudes.

This book provides the reader with the required knowledge needed to employ modern

automatic tools like AceGen within solid mechanics in a successful way. It covers the range

from the theoretical background, algorithmic treatments to many different applications. The

book is written for advanced students in the engineering field and for researchers in

educational and industrial environments.
