FEA Made Easy for Autodesk Inventor users
Over the past couple of decades there have been several dedicated FEA Analysis Software available for use by Engineers. These technologies have been very comprehensive and are predominantly used by analysis experts. Some of the other major drawbacks of such dedicated software include the advanced knowledge required and their lack of seamless integration between 3D CAD software. As a result of these drawbacks designers and experts still continue today to work in isolation from one another resulting in some duplication of work, increased design change time and cost and hence increased time to market.
