Who does Finite Element Modelling?

AI Thread Summary
Finite Element Modelling (FEM) is typically handled by professionals such as mechanical engineers, building engineers, or mathematicians, depending on the specific application. The task can vary in complexity, making it essential to find someone with the right expertise. Consulting firms specializing in FEM can be a viable option for small companies lacking in-house capabilities. Freelance engineers are also available for hire, providing flexibility for project-based needs. Utilizing these resources can help implement effective finite element solutions in CAD software.

Hi

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm employed at a small firm, only three employees at the time being. Our competencies spans from architecture to programming. We're in need of somebody who can help us create a finite element solution which we can implement in the cad software we use.

Who does Finite Element modelling? A building engineer? A Mathematician?

I'm a beginner at both math and physics so I don't know if making a finite element model of a system is a complicated task or if its easy for a professional?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Usually mechanical engineers have this interest and expertise. You might google for a consulting company that specializes in FEM and farm your work out to them.
 
Within mechanical engineers, they would have their expertise...In my company we have guys that do structural/deformation/fatigue/crack analysis, and we have different set of guys that do fluid dynamics. Then, of course, you have the electrical engineer that might need to do electromagnetic/electrostatic analysis, etc.
 
Thanks for the answers. I found two solutions. One was a site where I can hire freelance engineers for a project. I found several guys that does Finite Element Analysis. Or else I can use on of the renowned companies.
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
