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” First of all a little of background about Finite Element Analysis for those who really start out… Finite Element analysis is a method that helps […]
Ansys Tutorial: Steady state thermal analysis of a simple plate
In this video, I’ll show you how to do a simple steady state thermal analysis of a plate with the FEA software Ansys. If you want to know more about heat transfer, check out this page here: http://feaforall.com/heat-transfer/
Heat Transfer: Physics and FEA Case Study
I realized that I never wrote any article on this blog about heat transfer and thermal analysis… such a shame not to write about such a fascinating topic! If you never really did heat transfer analysis or if you never really thought about it, you are missing something huge! Here the trip that I propose […]
Failure Modes: Understand the 5 most common failure types
Many engineers I meet don’t know there are several failure modes… They think: « That’s pretty simple… you apply a load, the load is too heavy, so your system fails and breaks… » Ok. I acknowledge that this is obvious… systems can break under a heavy loading. In fact… even a 3 years old would understand […]
Free Body Diagram: Why is it useful in FEA?
If you are tackling static* problems with FEA, there is a basic tool that will help you a lot: The Free Body Diagram (FBD). If you are trying to analyze static mechanisms, you probably heard this name before… But do you know what it is and how it actually works? That’s what this article is […]
Buckling in FEA: A simple explanation and demonstration
Hundreds of engineers asked me about buckling and every time, the way that I explain it makes them understand almost immediately how it works. That’s what I’ll share with you today for the beginning of 2017 :) Buckling is very simple to understand with the simple following example. Imagine that you are pushing a parallelepipedic […]
