Finite Element Model
Finite Element Model is a way to break down a complex shape or structure into many small, simple parts called elements, which makes it easier to see how the whole thing will behave when forces or loads are applied. In design simulation, this method helps designers test how strong or flexible a product will be before making it in real life. Changing the size or shape of these small parts can make the simulation more detailed or faster, depending on what is needed. Designers can use this approach to try out different materials or shapes quickly, which saves time and resources during the design process. This method can even show where a design might need extra support or where it could be lighter, helping to make better products.
