Structures Simulation Topics

Explore engineering subjects related to structural analysis and simulation. 

What is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?

Learn about finite element analysis (FEA), how finite element modeling works, and how it’s used in engineering applications.

What is Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA)?

Design failure mode and effect analysis (DFMEA) is a process that helps engineers understand the impact of potential risks associated with a design.

What Is Materials Characterization?

The materials characterization process helps you choose the best materials and design — and discover the root causes of any product failures.

What is a Drop Test?

Discover the details that go into conducting a drop test for your product, from the benefits and guidelines to simulation for virtual drop testing.

What is Failure Analysis?

Learn what failure analysis is, including why products fail, how failures are investigated, and how to prevent them before they occur with simulation software.

What is Explicit Dynamics?

Learn about explicit dynamics and the differences between implicit and explicit analysis. Explore which explicit dynamics tool is right for you.
