FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
Finite Element Analysis
Numerical simulation method for analyzing structural, thermal or other physical behavior of designs.
Examples
- 01FEA shows that the bracket's stress peaks at 210 MPa near a hole, well below the material limit of 350 MPa.
- 02Before the prototype is built, FEA results are reviewed together with test plans and design margins.
- 03When FEA shows a weak spot, the design is changed and the analysis rerun before release.
