FEA (Finite Element Analysis)

Finite Element Analysis is a computerized analysis method to envisage how a manufactured product will react to the physical world.

Get It Right First Time With FEA Technology

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) allows you to create a computerised 3D model of the product you need to manufacture for personal or business purposes. Perhaps you’re a sheet metal worker who’s been asked to create a unique spiral staircase for a residence or have been commissioned to produce bespoke external lighting for a business premises? We provide the means to put your ideas and talent into a practical design.

By designing and modelling the structure you need to manufacture, you can envision the end product and each individual element thereof to determine its workability. If it’s a mobile product, you’ll also be able to test how the different components operate on their own and function in relation to other items around it.

What You Can Expect From CJ CAD Services Regarding FEA Analysis

At CJ CAD services, we offer FEA service so that you’re able to test the feasibility of the product you need to create. In creating a computerised digital 3D model, you get to see how your project will come to fruition.

The following steps are involved in determining whether your device will be structurally sound and able to move in the way it was intended to.

  • Research and development: During this industrial production phase, teams identify the need for a product or upgrade thereof. The products that our clients bring to us to create a computerised model from is mostly innovative, or the new product required may also be an improved version of an existing design.

  • Modelling: Before manufacturing a product and depending on the budget, a prototype needs to be created based on engineering drawings. Based on the findings during the research and development stage of product realisation, we design a computerised 3D model that gives a detailed picture of the end product.

  • Finite Element Analysis: Once the model has been created, we add movement to the various components to determine whether it functions the envisioned way. We can also add other items to this 3D environment to establish how the product will react in relation to other objects.

The Importance of Finite Element Analysis and Finite Element Modelling

From an engineering drawing, we’re able to design a digital model of a product using Solidworks, Solidworks Premium, Solidworks Professional and ZW 3D CAD CAM. The next step in product realisation is to use the finite element method to determine the following:

  • Correct proportions: Creating a new product or adapting one needs careful planning and through engineering drawings, the correct measurements can be established to design a 3D model and, in turn, manufacture a product made to precision.

  • Movement: We design products that require movable parts such as automated rotaries, plant line alterations and pipe feeding shoot assemblies. Each individual element has to be made to fit another correctly. Being able to assemble these parts digitally helps get an accurate understanding of how the final product will work.

  • Movement in relation to other objects: The products that we create drawings for usually involve intricate detail and comprise of various parts. FEA simulates how these different components will fit together so that manufacturing can go smoothly.
