What are the Different Ways to Validate any
design?
There are 3 Methods to Validate any Design:
1.Analytical Method
2.Numerical Method
3.Experimental Method.
Numerical Methods
There are total 4 Numerical Methods:

1.Finite Element Method (FEM) / Finite

Element Analysis (FEA)

2.Boundary Element Method (BEM)

3.Finite Volume Method (FVM)

4.Finite Difference Method (FDM)

What is FEM?
Finite
The Finite Element Method reduces the degrees of freedom
from infinite to finite with the help of discretization or
meshing (nodes and elements).
Element
The entity joining nodes and forming a specific shape such
as quadrilateral or triangular is known as an Element.

Method
There are 3 methods to solve any engineering problem. Finite element
analysis belongs to numerical metho catedgory.
What is CAE ?

Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of

computer software to aid in engineering analysis tasks. It
includes Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD), Multibody dynamics (MBD), Optimization, etc.

Static Structural Analysis
static structural analysis determines the
displacements, stresses, strains, and forces in
structures or components caused by loads that do
not induce significant inertia and damping effects.
Transient Structural Analysis

A transient analysis, by definition, involves loads that

are a function of time. In the Mechanical application,
you can perform a transient analysis on either a
flexible structure or a rigid assembly.
EIGENVALUE BUCKLING ANALYSIS
An Eigenvalue Buckling analysis predicts the
theoretical buckling strength of an ideal elastic
structure.
This method corresponds to the textbook approach
to an elastic buckling analysis.
For instance, an eigenvalue buckling analysis of a
column matches the classical Euler solution.

(a) Nonlinear load-deflection curve (b) Eigenvalue buckling curve.

EIGENVALUE BUCKLING ANALYSIS
Inertia Relief - Linear Static Structural Analyses Only

• IF THE INERTIAL RELIEF PROPERTY IS SET TO ON, THEN ANY ANALYSIS

LINKED TO THE STATIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS IS INVALID.

THIS INCLUDES A STATIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS LINKED TO THE FOLLOWING

ANALYSIS TYPES:

– PRE-STRESSED MODAL

– EIGENVALUE BUCKLING

– PRE-STRESSED FULL HARMONIC RESPONCE

 Harmonic Response Analysis

Harmonic analyses are used to determine the steady-state

response of a linear structure to loads that vary sinusoidally
(harmonically) with time, thus enabling you to verify whether
or not your designs will successfully overcome resonance,
fatigue, and other harmful effects of forced vibrations.
Modal Analysis

A modal analysis determines the vibration characteristics

(natural frequencies and mode shapes) of a structure or a
machine component. It can also serve as a starting point for
another, more detailed, dynamic analysis, such as a transient
dynamic analysis, a harmonic analysis, or a spectrum analysis.
The natural frequencies and mode shapes are important
parameters in the design of a structure for dynamic loading
conditions. You can also perform a modal analysis on a pre-
stressed structure, such as a spinning turbine blade.
If there is damping in the structure or machine component, the
system becomes a damped modal analysis.
 FATIGUE ANALYSIS
Fatigue Results

Fatigue provides life, damage, and factor of safety information and

uses a stress-life or strain-life approach, with several options for
handling mean stress and specifying loading conditions.

Common uses for the strain-life approach are in notched areas where,
although the nominal response is elastic, the local response may
become plastic.

The three components to a fatigue analysis are:

•Fatigue Material Properties

•Fatigue Analysis and Loading Options

•Reviewing Fatigue Results

 Steady-State Thermal Analysis

 steady-state thermal analysis is used to determine temperatures, thermal

gradients, heat flow rates, and heat fluxes in an object that are caused by
thermal loads that do not vary over time.

 A steadystate thermal analysis calculates the effects of steady thermal loads

on a system or component.

Engineers often perform a steady-state analysis before performing a transient

thermal analysis, to help establish initial conditions.

 A steady-state analysis also can be the last step of a transient thermal

analysis, performed after all transient effects have diminished.
 Explicit dynamics analysis

An explicit dynamics analysis is used to determine the dynamic response of

a structure due to stress wave propagation, impact or rapidly changing time-
dependent loads.

Momentum exchange between moving bodies and inertial effects are

usually important aspects of the type of analysis being conducted.
 Random Vibration Analysis

This analysis enables you to determine the response of structures to

vibration loads that are random in nature.

An example would be the response of a sensitive electronic component

mounted in a car subjected to the vibration from the engine, pavement

roughness, and acoustic pressure.

 Transient Thermal Analysis

Transient thermal analyses determine temperatures and other thermal

quantities that vary over time.

The variation of temperature distribution over time is of interest in many

applications such as with cooling of electronic packages or a quenching
analysis for heat treatment.

Many heat transfer applications such as heat treatment problems,

electronic package design, nozzles, engine blocks, pressure vessels, fluid-
structure interaction problems, and so on involve transient thermal
analyses.
 Response Spectrum Analysis

Response spectrum analyses are widely used in civil structure designs, for
example, high-rise buildings under wind loads.

 Another prime application is for nuclear power plant designs under seismic
loads.

A Response Spectrum analysis has similarities to a Random Vibration

Analysis.

However, unlike a Random Vibration analysis, responses from a Response

Spectrum analysis are deterministic maxima.
 What is CFD ?
computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the science of predicting the
fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, and related
phenomena.

To predict this phenomena, CFD solver equations for conservation of

mass, momentum, energy etc..

CFD is used in all stages of engineering process:

•Conceptual studies of new design

•Detailed product development
•Optimization
•Troubleshooting
•Redesign
