The different types of FEA have constantly been developed to meet the needs in emerging engineering domains. The types of FEA methods that are currently being used in a vast number of applications include Extended Finite Element Method or XFEM, Generalized Finite Element Method or GFEM, Mixed Finite Element Method, hp-Finite Element Method, and Discontinuous [...]

The applications of FEA are seen in several engineering domains including geotechnical engineering, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, aerospace engineering, metallurgical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, bio-engineering, and meteorology.

FEA is used by several industries due to the following benefits. It can be used to generate a physical response of a structure or product in any location, which also includes the locations which were ignored during the implementation of an analytical approach. Potentially dangerous and destructive load conditions and various failure modes can be [...]

Finite Element Analysis or FEA is a very powerful tool for analysis, and due to this the domains which make use of this tool are plenty. These industries include the ones in manufacturing, industrial machinery and equipment, construction and architecture, automotive and transport, aerospace, consumer goods, electronics, valves and pumps, energy and chemical processing.

Finite element analysis is used for the simulation of any physical phenomenon to test the structural stability of any component of a building in the design phase. With such an analysis, even the most complex structural buildings can be easily analysed in the minimum amount of time.

The complicated structural forms cannot be analysed easily by using conventional methods. This is why, instead of using the analytical methods, the finite element method is used. This method can be used effectively to model the structural components to form the foundation of the building.

Finite Element Analysis or FEA works on a numerical technique referred to as Finite Element Method of FEM. By using this method, any physical phenomenon can be simulated. Engineers make use of FEA to decrease the physical prototypes and optimize the components in the design phase so that better products can be developed faster.
