Keywords: fea, simulate, piecewise, fem, arbitrarily

The reduction of a structure into arbitrarily defined elements over which an approximate solution is obtained by summing the solutions in each element.

chilton-computing.org.uk

A CAD method that determines the structural integrity of a mechanical part or physical construction under design by mathematical simulation of the part and its loading condition.

A process of selecting the optimum combination of materials in a composite based on software analysis.

cfa-hq.org

A method of analysis used in situations that are difficult to model by standard engineering techniques. The finite element method operates on the assumption that any continuous function over a global domain can be approximated by a series of functions operating over a finite number of small dub-domains. The series of functions are piecewise, continuous and will approach the exact solution as the number of sub-domains approaches infinity.

(FEA) a methodology for modeling parts using very small sections of the part geometry in a computer simulation; FEA can be used to design parts, understand how they react to deforming forces, or to simulate the flow of compound in a mold in order to optimize a molding process
