Why FEM?
Systematic procedure for derivation or approximation of solutions. Although tedious, but is very efficient with the advent of computers. Has extensive applications in several types of problems in engineering, medical science, nuclear science, aeronautics and aerospace. FEM allows entire designs to be constructed, refined, and optimized before the design is manufactured. Instantaneous analysis results are obtained and there is no need to test the prototype. FEM allows detailed visualization of where structures bend or twist, and indicates the distribution of stresses and displacements. In summary, benefits of FEM include increased accuracy, enhanced design and better insight into critical design parameters, virtual prototyping, fewer hardware prototypes, a faster and less expensive design cycle, increased productivity, and increased revenue.

Blanking
Metal blanking is a widely used process in high volume production of metal components. Its applications range from components of very light to heavy appliances and machineries. Blanking is defined as the cutting of a work piece between two die components to a predetermined contour. The theoretical modeling is very difficult due to the complexity in describing the shearing process starting with the elastic stage and ending with the total separation of the sheet metal.
