3 Reasons Why Stress Analysis Testing id Better for Cable Shapes

Summarizing this as a point of simplification, stress analysis tests show how stress analysis elements affect design through computer simulation. The particular type of test that Marlene Steel engineers use today is called Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Autodesk, the maker of FEA software used by Marlin, defines FEA as a "computerized method of predicting how a product reacts to real forces, vibrations, heat, fluid flow and other physical effects." Essentially, FEA analyzes thousands of different parts ("finite" elements) and measures the overall impact of different kinds of stress over time. The use of the FEA stress test in physical prototype testing has the following advantages: 1. Fast test speed (several hours or even hours instead of weeks or weeks). 2. Reduce costs by allowing you to test your design without using tools for physical prototyping. 3. It can simulate years or decades of use, increasing test thoroughness. How doe
