Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

WHAT IS FEA?

    Finite Element Analysis is a technique that models a given system using a finite number of nodes or elements. A mesh of node to node connections is established, with a greater node density used in typical locations of high stress. The mesh is accurately modeled to contain all material properties and dimensions of the structure. The analysis uses a series of user-defined linear or nonlinear functions to measure stress throughout the structure.

BENEFITS

    - Predict the maximum stress in a structure due to external forces or loads as well as the location of all critical stresses

    - Validate a new product line meets stress requirements based on expected load demands

    - Capability of applying directional load to any location in the model

    - Determine the cause of structural bending, fatigue, or failure for an existing field application

    - Quick problem diagnoses and corrective suggestions
