Start modeling - Preprocessing

In this step we will learn how:

Define Element Type.

Specify Material Parameters

Build the Model

Mesh

5

Element type defines the way how do you want to mesh your model. In FEA, it dependson the problem type and it is very necessary to be selected carefully.

Meshing

14

Meshing is the most essential step in FEA modeling. It means that use the element type you

specified to fill in (mesh) your solid model with nodes and elements.

ImportantYou need nodes and elements for the finite element solution NOT just the

solid model weve just created. The solid model does NOT participate in the FEA solution.

It requires three steps:

Attribute element type and material properties to the solid model

Mesh Controlspecify number of divisions. Meshing the solid model (create elements and nodes)

Constraint application

Applying constraint involves two steps:

Select required nodes based on the problem specifications 0.25 at corners

Add constraintsin our case all directions (all DOF).

Solution of the FE model

After applying constraints (Boundary conditions) on the FEmodel, it is ready for solution.

As we have done last week:
