The role of boundary conditions

The role of boundary conditions

Boundary conditions are probably where most of the engineers get it wrong. Boundary conditions have a great impact on the result of analysis and a simple mistake in BCs makes the difference between a model with 30% of error and 3% of error. Here’s a simple example in which the maximum difference goes up to 1416% (at […]

What causes singularity in your FE model?

That FEA problem used to drive me mad It happened to me a countless number of times. I had just finished to set up my FEA model and run the analysis and I knew more or less what range of stresses I wanted to find. I was waiting for the results to confirm that… BUT…As […]
