What is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?

The finite element method (FEM) or finite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical technique used to solve problems of engineering and mathematical physics. This technique is used to find the approximate solution to engineering problems, described by partial differential equations.

All About Defeaturing Using ANSA

Defeaturing is the process of removing the small features in the geometry that is less than the minimum length quality parameter. For example, if you have a minimum length of 3mm but you have a 2mm-long fillet means you should defeature the fillet or else it will fail for the minimum length criteria.

Differences Between Skew and Frame

Any CAE or CAD software has its own coordinate system. It is the first visible entity in the software’s GUI and is called the global coordinate system. All the parts attached to a model will follow this coordinate system if it is moved or translated likewise.

Introduction to Section Creation in RADIOSS

The purpose of creating the section is to understand how the force waves travel around a section. The sections at different components give a broad idea of peak force generated at a particular instant of time.

Wrap Around Distance In Crash Analysis

Crash analysis is mostly used to predict how a car will respond in frontal or side crashes. Two crucial factors, crashworthiness and minimal weight are taken into account when constructing any vehicle.

How to Resolve Nodes and Points That Are Not Visible in Hypermesh?

After installing the HyperWorks student version, there will sometimes be an issue in visualizing the nodes and points after importing a model. Changing environment variables can help in resolving the issue.

A Stepwise Guide on Cross Plotting any Two Curves Using the MATH option in Hypergraph 2D

A plot is a graphical technique for representing a data set, usually as a graph showing the relationship between two or more variables. The plot can be drawn by hand or by a computer. In the past, sometimes mechanical or electronic plotters were used.

Stepwise Guide To Using Extrude option in ANSA

A comprehensive multidisciplinary pre-processing tool for CAE, ANSA offers all the capabilities required for building a full model, from CAD data to ready-to-run solver input files, in a single integrated environment.

Common Doubts That Arise While Working With Connections

The majority of constructions have some kind of joint or connection. With the development of screw cutting techniques, bolted connections became feasible, and utilisation was expedited by, among other things, pitch and thread uniformity. Even today, hundreds of bolts and rivets are still used to join the parts of structures like ships and aeroplanes.
