The calculation by the method of finite elements, allows to analyze the behavior of complex structures as a whole, since the various components interact with each other with their actual shape and dimensioning.

It is the most complete and reliable method to predict the behavior of a structure in terms of deformation and maximum working stresses, allowing the different materials to be assigned with their fiber directions and local reinforcements and to calculate the safety coefficients with respect to the maximum loads and stability to buckling.

The graphical representation associated to FEA allows the designer a fast and easy determination of critical areas, where tensions are maximum or where tension concentration takes place.

This helps the design process allowing the placement of local reinforcements where they are needed and to orientate fibers in the most efficient way.
