FEA: Breaking the Part Before You Build It
- Breaks a part into small elements (a “mesh”)
- Applies loads or conditions (e.g. weight, wind)
- Calculates the response of each element
- Displays results using colour-coded stress maps or deformation visuals
Why Simulate Instead of Test
- Identifies weak points in a design
- Helps test different materials and shapes
- Reduces the number of physical prototypes needed
- Supports safer, lighter, more efficient products
Key Outputs of FEA
Stress Analysis: Identifies areas of high stress that may lead to failure.
Displacement: Shows how much a part will deform under load.
