1- Why is linear static analysis so important? In this article, I will be talking about one of the most capital steps required when you actually define the problem you are gonna solve:Ĭhoosing to solve your model with linear static analysis…or deciding it is not appropriate and that you have to look further. Want to understand the FEA System more in details and how it works? Click here

The FEA system is generally composed of 3 simple steps:ġ- Defining the problem and creating the model (That’s called pre-processing)Ģ- Solving the problem (That’s the solver enters in action)ģ- Analysing the results (That’s called the post-processing)įEA simulation is also very dependent on the skills of the engineer that is using it, because assumptions have to be made all along the way from modelling to the solution and results. If you don’t understand the difference between CAD and CAE (FEA included), here’s an article you might like:Īrticle: The difference between CAD and CAE – Your engineering skills and experience to assess the results and improve the model – An FEA software that will help you to model and solve the problem – A mechanical problem to solve and eventually a 3D CAD representation of it To apply the FEA method, you need basically 3 things: – Make a system safer by evaluating the risks of failure under various kind of loadings – Detect the causes of failure in a mechanical system – Mechanical designers to create more robust and better products If you are a beginner in FE (Finite Element) Analysis, this post should put some light on some of the most essential aspects to understand about “linear static analysis”įirst of all a little of background about Finite Element Analysis for those who really start out…įinite Element analysis is a method that helps to simulate mechanical parts and systems to get informations about failure, deformation and stresses under some various kind of loadings.
