What Are the FEs and the Mesh? Meshing of the Analysed Body Running the FEA Visualising and Systematising the Results of FEA (Post-Processor Stage) Setting the Analysis and the Results Preferences Different Ways to Systematise and Plot the Results of FEA Listing the Results of the Analysis Drawing Graphs of the Analysis Results Impact of Mesh Density and Viewing Mode on Final Results Different Types of FEs, Regarding the Geometry of the Model Impact of Mesh Density, When Standard Solid Mesh Is Used Impact of Mesh Density, When Curvature-Based Solid Mesh Is Used Impact of Mesh Density on Calculation Time and Accuracy Comparison between the Node Mode and the Element Mode Final Recommendations on Selection of Mesh Type Static Analysis of Solid Body with Circular or Planar Symmetry Development of CAD Models of the Analysed Bodies Static Analysis of the Designed Symmetrical Machine Unit with Circular Symmetry Static Analysis of the Designed Symmetrical Machine Units with Planar Symmetry Static Analysis of a Shell Body When Can an Object Be Treated as a Shell? Thin or Thick Shell FEs? Different Approaches for FEA of a Shell in SW Simulation Development of a CAD Model of a Shell Using Surface Tool (Surface.sldprt) FEA of a Shell, Created Using Surface Tool (Surface.sldprt) Development of a CAD Model of a Shell Using Sheet Metal Tool (Sheet_Metalsldprt) FEA of the Shell, Created Using Sheet Metal Tool (Sheet_Metalsldprt) Comparison of the Results from the Two Case Studies Static Analysis of a Frame Body Beams or Trusses?
