Finate Element Analysis (FEA)

FEA is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM).

FEA consists of a computer model of a material or design that is statically stressed and analyzed. It is used in new product design and existing product improvements. The software also allows verification of a proposed design, and that it will be able to perform to the client's specifications prior to manufacturing. Modifying an existing product or structure is utilized to qualify the product or structure for a new service condition. In case of structural failure, FEA may be used to help determine the design modifications to meet the new condition.
