the author has blog - he discusses engineering issues and solvers and good tips

and practical things

his blog has a quiz - chexk it out

- youtube - is FEA diffuclt - EnterFEA - name of the utube channel

1. fea is very complex -

too much to leran

it is difficult - huge benefit of FEA

u cant be very ood at everything

u have to be an expert in one filed - eg shell FEA

u have be become expert in a narrow filed - it helps u in switching this expertise

in other analys

easier to jump to another field in FEA

u can steer ur carrer in FEA - huge ocean

Starting is difficult - take focussed steps and narrow ur project subjects

learn with baby steps

2. FEA is predictable - super predictable - ie u can solve problems in the same way
as ur expertise

u gain from ur experice in expansion

3. Knowldege involved
programming is to be learnt

u must be able to effective use commands and write code in FEA

much of the knowldege is not realted to FEA

intimate knowlefe of mechnics of materials , othersise u wull get stupid results

u should not ignore many important things

u can poorly define a problem if u dont have technical knowledge

u may load a model wronlgy

- u may do decently if u dont posses FEA knowdlege but have good MOM knowldege -
engg knowldege

- it is even more important than FEA knowldege

- poor engg knowldge will make u lag

- deep engineering knowldege is the key

4. FEA knowledge
- how stuff works
- howo solver works
-how to iterate a non linear soution
- how to mesh ur model
- what mesh has good quality
- it is obvious to kow these things

5. SOURCES OF KNOWLDGE

- sufficient sources not available for engg problems

- nobody interested in writing engg. books soilving practical industrial problems
in books
- u can find good books on how to write a solver - because writing a good solver
was science
( math) applied maths at some poijt of time - and professros and scientits were
interested
to progress their careers and published papers n get promotions

- they got doctorates in math -PHDs - boks were written on solvers

- more complex nonlinear solvers - fea - books available

- u have most of the control in solving FEA issues for egieering problems

CONCLUSION :

- as per the speaker, fea is extremely hard to start

- simple proble in fea r simple and complex problems are diffiult

- u must have a good MOM and background knowledge - take a course first

- u should have good conrol over the environment

- start with simpler problems first with theoritical knowledge and some coding

TIPS

- as per the author - try to get an expertise on complex stuff in FEA

- this will give u a competiteive advantage - otehrwise anyone can ace u in FEA
skills

- u have to put lots of work intially and define ur focus area n domain as per
industry needs

- he advises talikng to people and doing collabarative work in fea

- FIRST LEARN TO DESIGN SYSTEMS/ STRUCTURES/ MACHINE COMPONENTS BY HAND

- LEARN TO SOLVE ODE / PDEs by HAND FIRST

- DON'T LEARN FEA AND DRAFTING LIKE A STUDENT - JUST PICK WHAT U NEED IMMEDIATELY
AND JUST DO IT
ON UR COMPUTER AND BY HAND ...LEARN AS TO GET ISSUES / PROBLEMS - NEED BASED STUDY
