Stages of finite-element analysis
The typical sequence of an AutoFEM Analysis FEA run includes the following steps:
• Creating a set of objects for finite element study
• Creating the desired study (various types are available)
• Generating the finite element mesh
• Assigning materials (unless already acquired from ShipConstructor
• Defining boundary conditions (constraints, loads)
• Calculation
• Analysis of results
The following paragraphs present the steps listed above, based on a static strength analysis example.
