Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software is a computerized tool that leverages the Finite Element Method (FEM) to anticipate the response of a product or object to real-world forces, including vibrations, heat, fluid flow, and other physical effects. The software achieves this by breaking down the object into numerous constituent parts, predicting the behavior of each element using mathematical formulas, and subsequently aggregating these individual behaviors to forecast the overall behavior of the entire component.

The principal categories of FEA software comprise Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Electromagnetic Analysis, Thermal Analysis, and Multi-physics Analysis. Structural analysis, a crucial aspect of FEA, involves assessing the behavior and stability of structures under diverse loads and conditions. Deployment options for FEA software encompass both on-premises and cloud-based solutions. Furthermore, FEA finds applications across various industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, electrical and electronics, civil engineering and construction, industrial machinery, medical devices, energy and power, among others.
