Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Theory- Crash Course

Concepts of Finite Element analysis are discussed in concise but scientific manner to help beginners get started in practical FEA. This course will help beginner’s clear fundamental concepts in least possible time. The FEA is now an integral part of all product development considering many advantages it provides. FEA helps designers understand the areas where their product needs improvement. FEA practically reduces the time required between design iterations. Although, FEA is a mathematical procedure our aim through this course is to explain it in the most logical manner without making it as pure mathematics class. The mathematics is explained through more of a conceptual background. Without proper understanding of scientific logic of FEA anyone can make mistakes while understanding the procedures and results of FEA. This course will help beginners make better decisions while performing FEA on commercial projects. The various plots generated in FEA helps designers understand the physics of problem, leading to better design. In certain critical product development, the actual prototype testing is extremely costly, hence investing of quality FEA procedure becomes increasingly important. Advanced FEA procedures help automatic design feature optimization for known practical loading leading to best possible design generation. Hope this course helps beginners explore the exciting field of FEA.
