• When Good Engineers Deliver Bad FEA
  President, Acom Consulting,Toronto, Ontario, Canada Assigning FEA to engineers lacking product experience.... Assigning FEA to engineers lacking product experience produces another hazard. To produce meaningful FEA results, the analyst must know the principles underlying the finite-element method...
• FEA diagnoses machine failures
  Consulting engineers regularly use finiteelement analysis (FEA) to help clients design better and safer products. Arrows point to high-stress areas on the shaft welded to the flange. To the right, stresses predicted by Algor FEA software match well with a photo of the cross section of the failed...
• The Engineer as Human Being
  of figuring out what I do best - so I could decide what I wanted to be when I grew up - I think I've found my niche: I'm a helper. I love to help people. I do it through consulting, through speaking, through writing - on the phone at 3 am, to crowds of thousands in huge auditoriums, in small conference...
• At square one with FEA - part 1
  of the software. In this first of several articles on getting FEA up and running, Ted Fryberger, a consulting engineer and instructor with ), makes a few suggestions for selecting qualified FEA engineers and establishing an FEA program. "First off," says Fryberger, "FEA users need three things: academic...
• Something new in everyday FEA

Garland Borowski is president of Borowski Engineering & Analytical Services Inc., Mobile, Ala., a consulting firm that performs structural, thermal, and fluid analyses as well as originates...
• At square one with FEA - part 2
  Getting a department or company's first FEA program up and running takes more than just learning the software. It calls for training users and establishing a process that lets designers get maximum benefit from the software. In this article, Ted Fryberger, a consulting engineer and instructor...
• Getting FEA right the first time
  use of FEA. Subsequent implementation consulting, including assessment of onsite engineering expertise and developing analytical best practices, is generally necessary for successful adoption and retention of FEA. After getting the right technology and training, companies must adapt...
• Online expert runs your FEA
  turn to the simulation capability of The recent service gives design firms a way to get designs analyzed in reasonably short periods by experienced people and without bringing in expensive consulting engineers. The company's timing seems right because many clients expect simulation reports...
• Good Solid Modeling, Bad FEA
  KUROWSKI. President, Acom Consulting,Toronto, Ontario, Canada Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create as a basis for finite-element analysis...
• What ethics means to engineers
  field. “Typically a large number of the audience raises their hands. Perhaps a degreed mechanical engineer is working for a consulting engineering firm and doing site plans, which constitutes civil engineering. Is that unethical?”. Another point about the example is that the engineer is not being asked...
