b) Beam 7. Question 3
2. Fluids
i. Divide the body into an equivalent system of finite element 1. Indeterminate structures
with associated nodes.
iv. Can handle complex loading
ii. Choose the appropriate element type to model the body
that have similar physical behaviour 1. Nodal load
iii. Elements such as 1-D, 2-D (plane stress/strain) or 3-D 2. Element load
i. Stimulate the actual supports of the structure whether i. Obtain only approximate solutions
simply supported, fixed or roller support.
ii. Contain errors after run the analysis
ii. This boundary condition will prevent the finite element
iii. Mistakes by users can be fatal (rubbish in rubbish out)
