What is FEA?
Provides

and approximate analysis of


a complex real-world engineering
problem
Predicts how a product reacts to
forces, vibration, heat, fluid flow, and
other physical effects
Used where analytical solutions are
not easily obtained
Alternative to experimental test
method

What is FEA?
A

discrete representation of a
physical continuum
Divides into a mesh of finite
elements which are defined by a
series of partial differential equations
at each node
Creates an approximate solution

Solution The program derives


governing matrix equations (i.e.
stiffness x displacement = load) and
solves for stresses, strains and

Benefits and
Applications
Allows

refinement and changes to


design quickly and low cost
Particularly suitable for:
Structural/mechanical engineering

design
Produce development
Failure analysis investigations
Improving the efficiency of existing
designs

Limitations
Not

all finite element models are


created equal
FEA is an approximate numerical
method, so some error is inevitable
Knowledge and training of the user
are vital to recognizing and reducing
errors to produce reliable results.
