by StruSoftFEM-Design is advanced modeling software for finite element analysis (FEA) and design of load-bearing concrete, steel, timber and foundation structures.
The Finite-Element Method (FEM) is a computational method/technique developed by engineers used to obtain an approximate solution to engineering problems. Finite element breaks a complex problem into simpler problem and uses a mathematical glue to join the solutions.
An engineer designing a bridge will need to know how the proposed structure will behave under load. The equations describing the distribution of structural stresses are known but they can’t be directly solved for a complicated shape such as a bridge. However the equations can be solved for very simple shapes like triangles or rectangles. The finite element method takes advantage of this fact. We replace the single complicated shape with an approximately equivalent network of simple elements. The overall pattern of elements is referred to as the finite element mesh. And this pattern will be unique to each new problem. The initial step is to design this mesh. And for this we must first decide what kind of elements will use.
