Parts and structures are stressed when they are subjected to loads or forces, which leads to strains. FEA allows you to test individual parts on a computer, visualizing the stresses and adjusting the design to ensure the parts will perform as intended.
→ Discover how to conduct expert simulations What is Finite Element Analysis?įinite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical method in design simulation for predicting how an object reacts to real-world forces, vibration, and other physical effects. Simulation can either be done through experimental testing or by using numerical methods, such as finite element analysis. Simulation helps engineers understand how their product design will perform in the real world. One important step early in the process is simulation. There are several steps in the product development process, from conceptual design all the way to fabrication. An Introduction to Finite Element Analysis
