![]() It is widely available and ordinary desktop, laptop, and even tablet computers can run these highly computing intensive simulators. The tools are so much more accessible and easier to learn that it is no longer tucked away inside research facilities or housed on massive servers. ![]() ![]() However, due to great advances in the capability of software, faster computers and improved graphic user interfaces, also referred to as GUIs, FEA is now reaching more audiences. Due to this characterization of the process, until the 1990’s, FEA analysis was limited almost entirely to the aeronautics, automotive, defense and nuclear industries.It was designated somewhat of a ‘dark art’ with respect to the more conventional manufacturing and design environment of CAD/CAM. Scientists in labs huddled over mainframe servers late at night, writing and re-writing simulations that required the dedicated time of powerful computer servers. IntroductionFinite Element Analysis (FEA) has been, for many decades, the domain of high tech engineers, PhD’s and specialists.
