Finite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical method for solving problems in engineering and applied sciences. It is used to analyze and predict the behavior of complex systems. Such as structures, machines, and electronic devices, under a wide range of conditions (i.e. forces, energies, vibration, heat, fluid flow, and other physical effects).
Finite element analysis shows how something will perform when stressed. Whether it will break, wear out, or work the way it was designed BEFORE it is created, installed or built in the ‘real’ world.
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.
