Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

FEA of the Exercise Machine Components

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computerized method for predicting how a product reacts to real-world forces, vibration, heat, fluid flow and other physical effects. 

Following are the FEA done on components while the Reverse Engineering Project.

The analysis was done using Ansys and SolidWorks.

FEA study for a Structure Supported by a Bearing and Caster wheels

Using the caster wheel material as Nylon PA66 the following study was done to identify the difference between the structures safety,

1. If the wheels are considered as Rolling Support

2. If the wheels are considered as Fixed Support

Adding New material library for PA66 and Meshing

1. Considering Wheels as Roller Support

2. Considering Wheels as Fixed Support
