3. Implementation of a finite element simulation
The implementation of finite element simulation as part of product design activities can be described as a process, i.e. an organized set of tasks. The key stages in solving a problem using a finite element tool are presented here, from the user's point of view.
3.1 Defining your needs
Very often poorly formalized, or simply ignored, the stage of defining objectives and needs is paradoxically a fundamental step in the course of a study. The reason is simple. The calculation model is a very schematic representation of reality, which we can only hope will translate a particular aspect of the structure's behavior. There is no such thing as a universal model capable of translating all behaviors. It is therefore imperative, before defining the model, to correctly...
