Strength Analysis for Maintenance
Tasks andPackagingDesign
FiniteElementMethod (FEM)software isoneof the tools
of CAE technology that canbeused to simulateusage
conditions to study the relationshipbetween theusage
conditions and the strength and deformation behavior
of the designed workpiece. This enables the designer
to determine the workability and optimal performance
of theworkpiece. The designer can also recognize the
maximum stress took place on different positions and
the area where the highest chance of damage can be
occurred.Thismakes itpossible tocalculate forasafety
value (safety factor) asaparameter for aproper design
andmaterial that is suitable for usage conditions.
Design for theForce-resistingElements
• Stress distribution analysis onboth static
and dynamic loads.
• Realize the deformationbehaviour of
the structure (Deformation).
• Bring about a strong structureapplicable
to operating conditions by using suitable
materials.
PackagingDesign
• Stress distribution analyzingonboth static
and dynamic loads.
• Know the deformationbehavior of
the structure (Deformation).
• Strengthen by using theRib in the right place
instead of increasing the thickness of thewhole
workpiece.

When it comes tomaintenancework, it calls
attention to a job that is full of oil stains,
burdensome and complicated assembly,
problem solving endlessly, then single out
the right replacement parts. It isalsogetting

analytical data can be used to determine the right spot on the machine to install for the
optimum sensor. The software enables data collection on the operatingmachine efficiently
and appropriately. The analysis data can also be used to plan for maintenance schedules
accurately. If any of the parts appears to break down, CAE software can also be used to
design for replacementparts.Seeing thatCAEsoftwarecanhelpyoufind thesolution toyour
