Introduction Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become a cornerstone of modern engineering design, enabling engineers to predict structural behavior, validate performance, and optimize systems before physical construction or manufacturing begins. However, in Australia, technical accuracy alone is not sufficient. Engineering outcomes must also comply with regulatory and professional standards, particularly

A Technical Guide to FEA Verification, Benchmarks, and Best Practices Introduction Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become a cornerstone of modern engineering design, enabling accurate prediction of structural behavior, thermal performance, and multi-physics interactions. However, as simulation results increasingly replace physical testing, a critical question arises: how reliable are the

Understanding When and Why Nonlinear Analysis Is Required Introduction Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a fundamental tool in modern engineering design, enabling engineers to predict structural behavior, optimize performance, and reduce physical prototyping costs. While many early-stage simulations rely on linear FEA, real-world engineering problems often involve complexities that linear

A Technical Guide for Reverse Engineering and Industrial Applications Introduction As products become more complex and development cycles shorter, 3D scanning technologies have become essential tools in modern engineering workflows. From legacy part reproduction to dimensional inspection and digital twin creation, 3D scanners for reverse engineering enable engineers to capture
