Note:
Nodal displacements are written in above [K]G matrix only
for hints. They help in proper placement of the entries from
elemental stiffness matrix.

• Putting the values we get to get [K]{U} = {F} form for the
whole structure
6. Solution Phase
Solving this we get the unknown nodal displacements at
nodes 2, 3 and 4

Basic Steps in FEA
21
1. Pre-Processing
This is the initial step in the analysis of any engineering
problem using Finite Element Method. It involves:
Where,
q = Heat transfer
U = U-factor
A = Cross-sectional Area of the element
∆𝑇 = Change in temperature (Nodal)
l = Elemental dimension in the axial direction
𝑘= thermal conductivity coefficient
h = coefficient of thermal convection
23 Prepared By: Engr. Zeeshan Anjum, Lecturer MED, MUST Mirpur Azad Kashmir
• For Torsional problems:
JG
T (θ)
𝐽𝐺
In this case, we use 𝐾=
𝑙
Where,
T = Torque
J = Polar moment of inertia
G = Modulus of Rigidity
l = Elemental dimension in the axial direction
θ= Angle of twist at nodes
K = Stiffness
24 Prepared By: Engr. Zeeshan Anjum, Lecturer MED, MUST Mirpur Azad Kashmir
c) Develop equations for an element.
• Where, {F}, {U}, {q}, {T} and {θ} are single column matrices
[K] and [U] are square matrices whose order can be found by
multiplying number of nodes with degree of freedom.
