FEA basics – CAD model simplification for FEA analysis

Today’s subject: CAD model simplification for FEA analysis. Why do you need to simplify your model? How can I do that?  The most simple workflow for FEA analysis is: 1. Import CAD model 2. Mesh the model 3. Assign boundary and loads 4. Perform analysis Unfortunately, all may not go as smoothly as we want… […]
