About Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- FEA is a computerized method used to predict how a product or structure reacts to real-world forces and environmental conditions.
- FEAST will be utilized for performing FEA of various types of structures, including rockets, aircraft, satellites, buildings, etc.
- The software enables the analysis of structural behaviour under different conditions, contributing to the design and development of diverse engineering projects.
- Previously, users relied on expensive software versions from foreign firms for Finite Element Analysis. FEAST aims to reduce this dependency on costly foreign software.
