Finite Element Analysis
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are simulation techniques used to thoroughly analyze various aspects of a product. These techniques enable detailed assessments of stress, vibration, heat transfer, thermal dynamics, fluid dynamics, and other physical properties. In structural mechanics, a continuous structure is divided into numerous elements connected at specific nodes. Each element’s behavior is determined by the state of the nodes that encompass it, closely resembling the actual material structure.
