Please create an FEA checklist for people that put requests in to our simulation team

1. Request Information

2. Geometry Specifications

  • Attach CAD files in supported formats (STEP, IGES, etc.).
  • Include any relevant sketches or diagrams.
  • Ensure files are clean and free of errors.
  • Check if multiple components require analysis.
  • List any removed features (holes, fillets, etc.).
  • State assumptions about material behavior.
  • Clarify if idealized conditions are applied.
  • Mention any symmetry or periodicity assumptions.
  • Include exact measurements in preferred units.
  • Specify tolerances for critical dimensions.
  • Highlight areas with strict tolerances.
  • Provide geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) details if available.
