Finite Element Analysis (FEA) finds the solution by subdividing large problem into a finite element. The system assembles the finite element & then models the entire problem.
#Ideametrics is a leader in #FEA techniques to the design of the equipment. We Executed many projects for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) based reports validating product safety or illustrating shortcomings.

The ME Labs Team, which consists of Lab Manager Don Wirkner, Engineering Technician Mike Klein, and Design Instruction Engineer Kemal Duran, have received the University of Michigan’s Distinguished Diversity Leaders Award for their work to expand accessibility in the ME Undergraduate Machine Shop. The team fabricated solutions to bring controls for industry standard equipment setups into reach for a wider array of body types and expanded aisleways to allow for greater ease of movement, particularly for those who use assistive mobility devices.
The ME Undergraduate Machine Shop is critical to the department’s educational programs. The shop provides creative, fabrication, and hands-on learning environments for students in ME design courses. Making use of mills, lathes, a water jet cutter, and other machines to transform raw materials into machine parts and intricate mechanisms, students build robot machine players (RMPs) in ME250, motor-driven mechanisms in ME350, and any number of other devices in the department's senior capstone design course, ME450.

Sara's roller coaster car invention. "Car" really moves. Thread contraption is used from a distance to pull the car back up the "hill" after car goes down a stack of books and ramps.
Mechanical engineering senior Matt Sellers, right, gives engineering alumnus Walter Robb a tour of his team's baobob fruit processing machine. The team will take the machine to Benin in May for demonstrating to the local populace.
The students' Kinematics Ramp demonstrates how potential and kinetic energies interact. When the ball is dropped from a higher height, it starts with more potential energy. This potential energy turns into kinetic energy and allows the ball to fly up higher in the air.
