Finite Element Analysis¶

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computerized method for predicting how a product reacts to real-world forces, vibration, heat, fluid flow, and other physical effects.

FEA helps identify if a product will break, wear out, or work the way it was designed.

Steps¶

• Create model
• Create parts
• Create sets for boundary conditions and loads
• Merge parts to assembly
• Materials
• Create materials and sections

• Assign materials to sections

• Create steps

• Specify output requests
• Specify boundary conditions
• Specify loads
• Generate Mesh
• Create jobs
• Run jobs

Job = Simulation
