FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
Stress Analysis is used to ensure that your structural and mechanical products will support their anticipated loads.
Classical stress analysis (CSA) is used on common structural components when mechanical properties are
known, Finite element analysis (FEA) is used on uncommon structural components whose mechanical properties
are not known, or for structures that are too complex for CSA.
Slideshow of FEA Analyzed Models
The slide show below shows the FEA results from subjecting mechanical and structural components to various loads.

What FEA Can Do For You
FEA can be used to calculate
stress and deflection in machine
parts, assemblies, weldments,
and sheet metal parts that have
geometries that don't allow the
use of classical stress analyis
methods.
