In today's 3-D world, products are being required to do more and more. Eventually, there reaches a point where a designer must evaluate his/her design decisions. How tall must I make this rib? How strong is this part given these loading conditions? How much wall thickness do I need to insure my part is structurally stable? If you have ever had to answer these questions, then you know how difficult it can be at times. With this in mind, Shadow offers finite element analysis (FEA) in order to answer these and many more like them. Simply stated, finite element analysis is the analytic method of dividing a part's geometry into thousands of smaller regions known as elements. Then, a variety of properties are assigned to each element in order to give the sub-divided part strength, thickness, material and so on, so that the finite element model (FEM) resembles your actual part. The FEM is then subjected to a multitude of unique analysis solvers that simulate how your part will behave in operation.
