An engineer can also be an FEA analyst. But an FEA analyst who is not an engineer, is not really an FEA analyst at all. Engineering is such a vast subject and I didn’t really appreciate how vast until I wrote this article. Check the comments #engineerin…lnkd.in/eiaipgfx

I'm always sceptical about FEA results because I know that poorly applied boundary conditions can have a big effect on the stress and displacement values. Badly applied boundary conditions are very often the single greatest source of error in finite elem…lnkd.in/eFUDscmG

Bulk Materials Handling equipment such as hoppers, silos, conveyors, boom feeders and shiploaders have unique requirements when it comes to design and engineering analysis. Finite element analysis is often employed in conjunction with design codes inclu…lnkd.in/edEnUxH4

I recently watched the film ‘Big George Foreman’, and loved it. My grandad was a professional boxer and when I was young, I always liked the idea of becoming a boxer myself. But I didn’t like the idea of getting punched in the face, so I took up karate…lnkd.in/eYKhp5hu

If cowboys did Finite Element Analysis, then this is what they'd say.... Check the comments. #throwbackthursday #finiteelementanalysis #engineering lnkd.in/dVpy2tXi

In case you missed it. There's a free FEA tutorial that compares worked examples of finite element analysis results with hand calculations on the Value Design Ltd website. The website address is posted in the comments. Enjoy! #fea #tutorial #engineering

Sometimes we know it will yield or permanently bend out of shape but we just need to know by how much. Sometimes we design weaker components to protect welds or other critical components for abuse loading. When a component has gone beyond yield, only No…lnkd.in/drxKzPFX

Standards and design codes are of the utmost importance. The most widely used standard in Yorkshire is to ensure the components meet the requirements of British Standard BR8. 🤪 lnkd.in/dpDFSKVT

This one was an interesting result. For safety critical designs it is mandatory to be conservative. Conservative could mean a 1 in 10,000 year earthquake. It could happen but is highly unlikely in our lifetime. A 1 in 10 year earthquake can’t be conser…lnkd.in/eRCQ9NkF

The poll results are in. 71% correctly identified that there is no such thing as a perfect FEA model. This is because they understand that two of the same components from the same batch have slightly different geometry and slightly different strength. So…lnkd.in/ex6wTt-2

He’s right. Telling people not to eat meat, fly or drive was never the answer to climate change. It’s engineering and science, that’s the answer. In fact the technology is already here and has been for decades but the political wil…lnkd.in/emwQe7BD lnkd.in/eAZu3qMb

They do say laughter is the best medicine. Try telling a joke in the office and wait for it to circulate around until eventually someone tells it back to you. Short cheesey jokes work best.😂 lnkd.in/e_BkViMd
