HiTech FEA Recommends Product Design Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

AHMEDABAD, India - March 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Ahmedabad, India - 19th March 2013 HiTech FEA, one of the leading FEA companies in India recommends product design using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). When a product is designed and is ready for prototype there are lots of questions in the mind like: Does the design function properly? Will it survive under full load/usage? Is it overdesigned? Are the optimum materials being used? Are wall thicknesses appropriately sized? Can additional costs be squeezed out of the design? Can the number of parts be reduced? What are the margins of safety on the product?

"There are a couple possible options available to the developer. The first could be to prototype the design as is, test the system and update the design based upon the results. This process is quite expensive and does not guarantee that the design will be improved." Added Mr. Nilesh Shah, Director - IT & Engineering. He further added that "Hence, many times developers opt for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Finite Element Method (FEM) to optimize the design prior to prototyping or manufacturing the product. Several iterations of a design can be run without a single prototype being produced. If there are multiple possible design solutions, FEA can help select the preferred design. This in many ways is a method to virtually prototyping a design."

Now the question is why one should opt for FEA to validate product design. The answer is:

* Design Optimization: An engineer can minimize or maximize mass, volume, temperature, stress, strain, displacement, reaction loads, velocities, and accelerations. The FEM process also allows the engineer to minimize part counts, processing, and material costs (material selection assistance).

* Reduction of Development Time and Costs Associated: The number of prototypes fabricated and tested along with the labor involved can be significantly reduced using FEA modeling.

* Design Comparison/Selection: If multiple strong candidates exist, FEA stress analysis may show that one concept has advantages over another.

* Verify Design Function and Intent: Verify that the design functions and deforms under use as desired and intended.
