6.5 - Using Simulation for Analysis

Introduction

CAD stress simulations, also known as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), play a crucial role in mechanical design. They are used to analyze and predict how mechanical components or structures will behave under different loading and operating conditions. In this activity we will learn how to use CAD to simulate Stresses and Loads on a component.

Begin by reviewing the presentation:

Now follow along with the video to run the Stress Analysis in the Simulation Workspace.
