Although FEA is a very popular and trusted design tool in use for several decades, it is of paramount importance to emphasize that it is only as accurate as the user’s input into the analysis and the interpretation of the results. In its introduction the tutorial will cover the importance of accurate inputs into the analysis and correct interpretation of the results as well as the best practices in how to improve said accuracies. Second part will cover the nature of the phenomena analyzed with thermal and structural simulations with the emphasis on the seemingly paradoxical fact that thermally loaded structures frequently fail only upon load removal. The third part will cover thermal and structural simulations with several examples. The tutorial will be concluded with alternate applications of FEA in the design of synchrotron instrumentation. Examples of multi-physic and vibration analysis, component weight optimization, and the analysis of the acoustic levitation supports will be presented.
