CHAPTER 10Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
10.1 Introduction
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a popular method of solving differential equations in engineering and mathematical modeling. Creo Simulate is an embedded application within Creo Parametric; therefore, there is no need to use a third‐party application to conduct simulations. Additionally, Creo Simulate allows to report customized parameters of simulation results. The purpose of FEA in this chapter is to discuss how to study and observe the simulation results that influence design variables such as straight corners vs rounded features or the behaviors of various materials on the same product.
- It is important because we can determine the material, a part will need to be made of for it to accomplish its task. We could find a potentially cheaper material that is strong enough to still produce the part with increasing profits for each part, etc.
- Obviously before you can do an FEA, you have to have a part designed (3D designing will not be covered).
- You will also have to have access to Creo Simulate.
Before we get started with the exercise problem, we need to verify that simulate light is installed with our Creo Parametric. If you are using commercial or university‐provided Creo Software, ...
