Finite Element Analysis: DR./ Ahmed Nagib

The document outlines the basic steps in the finite element method, which includes preprocessing, solution, and postprocessing phases. In the preprocessing phase, the solution domain is discretized into finite elements and nodes. Shape functions are used to approximate the behavior of each element. Equations are developed for individual elements and assembled into a global stiffness matrix. Boundary conditions and loading are applied. In the solution phase, the algebraic equations are solved to obtain nodal results. In the postprocessing phase, additional outputs like stresses and fluxes are obtained. An example problem is presented to demonstrate the application of these steps.

Basic Steps in the Finite Element Methods

Preprocessing Phase

1. Create and discretize the solution domain into finite


elements, that is, subdivide the problem into nodes
and elements.
2. Assume a shape function to represent the physical
behavior of an element; that is, a continuous function to
represent the approximate behavior ( solution) of an
element. (Element Selection)
3. Develop equations for an element.
4. Assemble the elements to present to [resent the entire
problem. Construct the global stiffness Matrix.
5. Apply Boundary Conditions, initial conditions and loading
Basic Steps in the Finite Element Methods

Solution Phase
6. Solve a set of linear or non linear algebraic equations
simultaneously to otain nodal results, such as displacement
values at different odes or temperature values at different
nodes in heat transfer problem.

Postprocessing Phase
7. Obtain other important information such as principal
stresses and heat fluxes.
