The Spectrum of FEA Analysis

摘要

AS YOU JOURNEY from the CAD world into simulation, you will quickly become familiar with an age-old saying. You don't know what you don't know. Depending on the software vendors of your choice, you will have a wide selection of analysis tools at your disposal. After attending training or learning at a self-pace, you may be asking which type of analysis you should perform. How do you know if your engineering problem requires a deeper dive into more advanced studies? There is no replacement for experience; however, developing a strategy on how you implement use of these tools will be instrumental to your success. Before considering strategy, let's explore the common swath of tools available inside the simulation toolbox.
