Question 1
A mechanical engineer is tasked with designing a new bridge. They have run simulations using FEA but have not performed a mesh independence study. What risks might this pose to the bridge's safety?
💡 Hint: Consider how mesh size can influence the accuracy of model predictions.
Question 2
After testing a bridge design with FEA, an engineer finds their model's predictions differ significantly from measurements taken from a physical prototype. What steps should the engineer take next?
💡 Hint: Think about what factors could differ between simulation and reality.
