Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
UNIVERSITY OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION HCMC – Academic Affair Office
FEA is a numerical technique used to solve engineering
problems with an array of physics-based calculations
Requiring to define the domain problem, material properties,
geometric properties, mesh model, boundary conditions and
the element types
Types of FEA tests:
• Structural static analysis.
• Thermal engineering analysis
• Modal analysis.
• Engineering seismic calculations.
