Structural Analysis
Structural analysis is a type of FEA software program used to help manufacturers develop products by evaluating different types of designs in both a linear and non-linear modeling system. For instance, strutural analysis software can be used to test stress in smaller products such as a hospital beds or larger products such as automated automobile synthesis machines.
Vibrational Analysis
Vibrational analysis tests different materials or products against vibrations, shock or impact. For instance, a computer model simulation of an airplane landing could be modeled for airplane manufacturers to test the landing and look for areas of stress within the material or parts of the airplane. The models use natural vibrational frequencies from the material to test and look for stresses or failures within.
Fatigue Analysis
Fatigue analysis is a type of FEA that models the life of the material or product by illustrating the effects of cyclic loading on it. This helps manufacturers analyze areas where cracks or damage can occur. The simulations, therefore, can help create more constructive designs. For instance, fatigue analysis models simulate designs for windows or frames of buildings or cars.
Heat Transfer Analysis
Heat transfer analysis models for FEA test the conductivity or thermal fluid dynamics of the material or product. Heat transfer analysis is also known as thermal analysis. Model simulations are created using the thermoproperties of the material or product. For instance, this type of analysis is used in testing automobile brakes. The models look at the brake rotors and pads to test for frictional heating that can result in mechanical problems.
