Demystifying FEA (Finite Element Analysis) in CAD

Today, we will delve into the exciting world of CAD (Computer Aided Design) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis). If you’re a CAD enthusiast or professional interested in learning if FEA can improve your designs, then you are in the right place.

Let us move forward on this exciting adventure with SynnopTech CAD Solutions, your one-stop shop for new CAD technology.

What is FEA?

Simply stated, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a superhero for your CAD designs! It is a very powerful simulation tool that can be used to predict the results of structural or component behavior in response to conditions. Whether you are designing a skyscraper, an automobile, or some small consumer product, FEA will help you understand the design you built to address any architectural problems with your designs in a solid and reliable manner.

How does FEA Work?

FEA takes a complicated object and breaks it down into smaller components or “finite” elements, such as triangles or rectangles, that are easier to analyze. These elements are connected by points to each other to form a mesh that represents the geometry of the object.

This is where the magic happens: FEA accounts for the material properties, loads, and boundary conditions you provide and uses mathematical equations to assess how each element responds to those considerations. By solving those equations for each element, it calculates a useful perspective of how the complete object responds.

Why FEA Is Used in CAD:

Design Verification: FEA allows you to test your designs virtually, getting you the results you need faster and less expensively than creating physical prototypes. FEA can help you identify potential problems (stress concentrations, weak points, etc.) and modify your design prior to manufacturing.

  • Optimization: FEA gives you the ability to try out different design variations and materials to see what combination gives you the best possible solution that meets your performance and safety requirements within budget.
  • Realistic Simulations: FEA provides a more legitimate understanding of how your design will behave under loads and other varying conditions. This aspect is very important in critical applications (aerospace, automotive, etc.).
  • Cost Savings: Early identification of issues during design makes fixing a cost-effective decision to use FEA for product development.
