What is Finite Element

Analysis?
The FEM is a computer-aided
mathematical technique for obtaining
approximate numerical solutions to the
abstract equations of calculus that
predict the response of physical
systems subjected to external
influences.

USE OF ANSYS IN CIVIL

ENGINEERING

Advantages
Irregular Boundaries
General Loads
Different Materials
Boundary Conditions
Variable Element Size
Modification
Dynamics
Nonlinear Problems (Geometric and/or Material)

Disadvantages
An approximate solution
An element dependent solution
Shape quality of elements affect the solution,
e.g. poorly shaped elements (irregular shapes)
reduce accuracy of the FE solution
Element density affect the solution, i.e. the
element size should be adjusted to capture
gradient example: plate with a circular hole
