A Typical FE model job can be descripted as below:
- Define nodal point location (Geometry)
- Create element connecting the nodal points (Meshing)
- Input properties (thickness plate, beam properties, mass properties,...)
- Define boundary condition
- Define Loading or forcing details
- Input Analsysis options. depend on the scope of model, a FE model can be divided to Global model, Coarse mesh model or zooming model.
