Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is the primary
design tool to analyse the product under the real
life conditions that a product would be subjected
to. FEA uses the 3D solid model and once loads
and forces are applied, it will predict the
stress and deflection of the part. It is then up
to the engineer to analyse these results and
should the part fail, determine a way in which to
achieve acceptable results by altering the
design.FEA has allowed us
to reduce the time spent on physical prototypes
and reduce the time spent on empirical testing.
Design analysis allows us to test our designs as
we work, simulating multiple 'what if' scenarios.
FEA covers areas
such as:
- stress
analysis
- mechanical
analysis
- plastic
flow analysis
- drop test
analysis
- dynamics
analysis
- fluid
dynamics analysis
- impact
analysis
In the end, we
have a excellent design solution, confident that
it will perform beyond expectation.
