Finite Element Analysis Concepts via SolidWorks
This Finite Element Analysis Concepts via SolidWorks is intended for beginners who must utilize finite element analysis (FEA) methods, but have not yet had a course in finite element theory. The emphasis is on the engineering reasons for conducting the sequence of stages necessary to complete a valid finite element analysis.
For completeness, it has been necessary to select specific software to illustrate the various stages. Most
commercial solid modeling and finite element analysis systems are very similar, and the overlap in their capabilities is probably 90 % or more. Systems with more advanced or specialized abilities are usually more difficult to utilize, and have a significantly longer learning curve. In this case, the SolidWorks system(release 2010) has been selected due to its short learning curve and ability to execute the most commonly needed finite element analyses. The author wishes to thank the SolidWorks Corporation for permission to reproduce some of their online help file or demonstration figures for use in this text.

The finite element method (FEM) rapidly grew as the most useful numerical analysis tool for engineers and applied mathematicians because of it natural benefits over prior approaches. The main advantages are that it can be applied to arbitrary shapes in any number of dimensions.
