Welcome to FEA! FEA stands for Finite Element Analysis and is what the team uses to simulate the stresses your parts will experience in use.

Title your page with the day you finished it! → Makes it easier to keep track of revisions
You’ll see a page for each week which will house all the FEA reports from that week. When you’ve finished up, I want you to change the status of the part you’re working on and highlight it green or red for pass or fail respectively. But do it for the cell background tho.
Make sure your Mesh is fine enough → make sure that each section has at least two nodes
...
Don’t simulate off-the-shelf (OTS) parts → we choose parts that we know will withstand the loading, you won’t need to simulate them, makes everything more complicated
Add whatever file you used to your Confluence page (the SolidWorks file with the simulation and an Excel sheet with the mesh convergence data).
