In general, there are 3 phases in any computer aided engineering tasks: Pre Processing (Finite Element Model) Analysis Post - Processing 4 Finite Element Analysis The user constructs a model of the part to be analyzed. Then the geometry is divided into a number of discrete sub-regions or elements connected at discrete points called nodes. Certain of these nodes will have fixed displacements, and others will have prescribed loads. Then the loads of real value, direction and type are applied on the model. Then the software display overlays colored contours representing stress levels on the model, showing a full picture similar to that of photoelastic or moire experimental results. this method is used for almost every kind of CAD components.
