FREE CAD skills - Simscale FEA analysis of crane

A practical, step-by-step guide for engineering students learning how to perform an FEA analysis in SimScale using a crane section as the example.

The guide covers:

• Locating and importing a crane model
• Defining gravity and material properties
• Applying boundary conditions, including fixed support and force
• Creating and refining the mesh
• Running the simulation
• Interpreting results, including Von Mises stress and displacement

Ideal for students who are new to FEA and want a clear introduction to setting up and analysing a structural simulation in SimScale.
