Differences Between Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Finite Element Method (FEM)

Finite element analysis (FEA) and finite element method (FEM) are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings and applications. FEM is a “mathematical method” for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics that involve complex geometries, loads, boundary conditions, and material properties. FEA is the “practical application” of FEM to […]

AltaSim’s Multiphysics Simulation Role in Knee Replacements

Medical devices continue to improve the health and lives of millions of people worldwide, and simulation plays a critical role in developing them. Simulations enable engineers to assess the performance of their medical devices for a wide range of conditions with greater patient safety and less expense than in vivo or in vitro testing. In a free upcoming webinar, Electromagnetic

Benefits of the Finite Element Method

Computational simulation is a powerful tool for solving complex engineering problems that involve the finite element method (FEM). FEM is a numerical technique that divides a domain into smaller elements and approximates the governing equations at each element. By using computational simulation, engineers can perform FEM analysis faster, more accurately, and more efficiently than using

Finite Element Analysis and the Benefits of Computational Simulation

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a method of solving complex engineering problems involving structures, fluids, heat transfer, and other physical phenomena. FEA divides the problem domain into smaller and simpler parts called finite elements, and then applies mathematical equations to describe the behavior of each element and the interactions among them. FEA can find approximate
