You need not know everything about FEA to successfully run today's analysis software. Over the past 30 years, finite-element analysis has gone from a technology used mostly by experts and academics to ...

An engineer with limited FEA experience and no library of best practices to guide him tried to mesh a thin-walled bike frame with solid elements rather than using more appropriate beam elements. Most ...

MSC.Software announced late last week that they’ve team up with NVIDIA to boost the performance of the company’s finite element analysis software using Tesla GPUs MSC.Software’s finite element ...

It has long been the dream of engineering-software providers -- both on the analysis side and design side -- that these two stages of product development be more closely integrated. That's also the ...

Failure analysis is the scientific process of determining the root cause of a failure. It is often related to equipment breakdown with varying levels of consequence, from loss of production, to ...

Finite element analysis has enabled engineers to virtually predict material and product performance, eliminating non-functional possibilities and establishing the best material and design without the ...

Continuous Composites, which recently secured multi-million-dollar funding from the US Air Force to advance the development of high-performance materials using its CF3D® technology, has also been ...

The development of new generations of transformers and line reactors is radically simplified and accelerated by a powerful new automated software toolbox from the Vector Fields Software product line ...

Rubber parts such as silicone diaphragms, septums, seals, valves, tubing, and balloons are critical components in many of today’s medical devices. FEA can be an excellent tool for design engineers to ...

Finite Element Analysis consists of a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed for specific results. It is used in new product design, and existing product refinement. A ...
