Summary: I was specting more.......
Comment: I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I'm doing a MSc in materials and manufacturing processes.
I'm from Colombia, South America. You could say it's a "developing country" but may be not, I find here better books than this.
I'm owner of this book, I thought that an Algor publishing work could be great, but it doesn't.
Using this book, you'll not learn so much about finite elements, it's like a description about what ALGOR can do, but doesn't explains in a good manner what finite elements analysis is.
If you want a really good book, the classic, Zienkiewicz and "The finite element method" could be, Bathe too. But Spyrakos, mmmmmmmmm it's for someone who doesn't know anything about FEA and wants to know what FEA means, no more.
Printing also, it's not as I expected.

Summary: Not so much
Comment: This book present the prolems concerning FEM in a very pragmatically way. This implies that: 1) you will soon be able to use this tecnique if you have a mentality used to learn and acquire infos very quickly, but not understanding deeply what is phisically implied in these formulas. 2)You won't be able in a second time to review your work and understand it. That's it. I'm a phisician and have some problem with engineer mentality.
