Finite Element Analysis

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computerized method for predicting how a product reacts to
real-world forces, vibration, heat, fluid flow, and other physical effects. Finite element analysis
shows whether a product will break, wear out, or work the way it was designed. It is called
analysis, but in the product development process, it is used to predict what is going to happen
when the product is used.
FEA works by breaking down a real object into a large number (thousands to hundreds of
thousands) of finite elements, such as little cubes. Mathematical equations help predict the
behavior of each element. A computer then adds up all the individual behaviors to predict the
behavior of the actual object.
Finite element analysis helps predict the behavior of products affected by many physical effects,
including:

Mechanical stress

Mechanical vibration

Fatigue

Motion

Heat transfer

Fluid flow

Electrostatics
