A GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
• Preprocessing
– Define the geometric domain of the problem.
– Define the element type(s).
– Define the material properties of the elements.
– Define the element (mesh the model).
– Define the physical constraints (boundary conditions).
Define the loads.
• Solution
– computes the unknown values of the primary field variable(s)
• Post Processing
– Stress , deformation
