Regardless, the "finite element analysis" of the computer simulation showed that both solutions would work.

In other words, the difference is probably due to the ability of element analysis of the program.

My background is in design, finite element analysis, and materials selection.

Finite element analysis (Chap.4) has been used to illustrate the effects of anisotropy.

The bridges have been modeled using a computer program based on finite element analysis.

"We're using finite element analysis now," he explains - to crush cars better!

It is here that finite element analysis comes into its own.

Finite element analysis can be used to predict the vibration of complex structures.

In this case the subject for the finite element analysis is the bone.

Finite element analysis provides an alternative way to estimate limit loads.
