Hey,
I'm a relatively recent graduate (6 months) and have been using structural FEA for a year now. I think I understand most of the basic theory behind it but I just have one practical question that I can't seem to find an answer to in books.
I understand that a static linear isotropic FEA simulation depends mainly on 2 assumptions
- Linear behavior, i.e equivalent stress < yield strength
- Small deformation
