Queries Regarding FEA

1. How can we define brittle or ductile material?

2. If we cannot provide the hinge joint then what will be the next best options.
3. What are we going to present to the client.
4. Detailed explanation on why stresses are exceeding the limit also considering
the factor of safety.
5. How are we going to explain to client that in linear static analysis the stresses
will be due to interpolation of stresses after yield limit?
6. Why in case 2 the simulation time is taking about 8 hours.
7. How can we reduce stresses any thumb rule.
8. Explanation to give to client when stresses are exceeding the limit.
9.
