FEA – It’s Not That Simple
How do you know your products are safe, reliable, and will perform as expected without wasting material on overbuilt parts? FEA (Finite Element Analysis) gives you the ability to apply loads virtually to test the performance of individual parts up to complex assemblies. Sometimes 5 minutes and a very basic understanding of the load conditions are all you need to get accurate answers. More complex systems, like destructive crash testing, requires a combination of experience, expertise, and sophisticated software to fully understand. Your needs will likely fall somewhere in the middle. In this event we learn more about the available solutions in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation product family and how to know which one is right for you!
Our expert Jon Duffin covers these primary topics:
- The FEA Workflow
- Understanding Assumptions
- Interpreting Results
- Overview of Available Solutions
