FEA (Finite Element Analysis)

Finite element analysis (FEA) is used to predict how parts, assemblies, weldments, etc. will behave under various loads. Is is much less expensive to do an FEA analysis of a design than to build a full scale prototype of the design, install Strain gauges, and physically load testing it.

Slideshow of FEA Analyzed Models

The slide show below shows the FEA results from subjecting mechanical and structural components to various loads.

Tent Support Structure Stress, Load = 100 mph (161km/hr) Wind.

Chain Hook Stress, Load = 5 kips (22.2 kN).

IPV Stress, External Pressure = 1000 psi (6.9 MPa).

Armored Cable Termination Stress, Load = 10 kips (44.5 kN).

Boat Lift Piling Support Stress, Load = 3 kips (13.3 kN).

BLAT Drive Pipe Stress, Load = 2000 kips (8.9 MN).

BLAT Top Breech Lock Stress, Load = 2000 kips (8.9 MN) .

Storage Tank Weldment Stress, Load = 24 kips (106.8 kN) .

Slurry Gate Valve Stress, Load = 90 psi (620.5 kPa) .

Slurry Gate Valve Deflection, Load = 90 psi (620.5 kPa) .

Anchor Chain Hook Stress, Load = 12 kips (53.37 kN) .

What FEA Can Do For You

FEA can be used to calculate stress and deflection in machine parts, assemblies, weldments, and sheet metal parts that have geometries that don't allow the use of classical stress analyis methods.

SolidWorks Simulation

SolidWorks Simulation improves product reliability by optimizing parts and assemblies for many environments and scenarios. It is a cost effective way to predict a product's real world physical behavior by virtually testing Computer Aided Design (CAD) models.
