finite element analysis: a numerical computational tool

Finite Element Analysis. FEA is a software technique used to study stresses and strains on mechanical parts or components. Virtual prototyping software automatically generates input loads for FEA. In addition, FEA-computed component flexibility ("stiffnesses") can be imported into virtual prototyping software to accurately simulate the motion behaviour of systems with flexible parts.

Federal Election Activity. designation introduced by BCRA for a subset of Shared Federal/Non-Federal Activity. FEA activity comprises: voter registration activity 120 days before a federal election; voter identification, generic campaign activities and GOTV (q.v.) in connection with a federal election; any public communication (that is, an advertisement) in support or opposition to a clearly identified federal candidate; and employee compensation when more that 25% of such compensated time during a specific month was spent on activities in connection with a federal election.
