FEA Update




Ok
Have been very busy trying to get this software running. As you can see its is. What this means is that I can take a 3d drawing ( scanned in the future I hope ) and take it from a concept drawing all the way through to a plastic prototype , with a fully rendered concept drawing , so that it looks like the finished part ( and you have the plastic part in your hand ) .

This process cuts down on the prototyping costs considerably. Also part optimization. We can take an existing part and optimize it , producing a drawing which shows the modifications needed.

the following pictures show what I am saying. the bean is a 50mmx 50mm H beam and a 50 x 50 channel both in Aluminum.

The next software to implement is a CFD , now all this means is , I need to run a more powerful computer, As the above stopped the processor in its tracks!
