1) What is FEM? And use? And applications?{ it a numerical method to solve problem} 2) What is FEA?

{ it is subject to analyze the total body} 3) What are the types of elements? 4) Difference between bar and beam?{ bar will take only axial loads. Beam will take bending loads} 5) When you will use solid and when you will use shell elements? 6) What is shape function? Definition? Equations ? 7) Derive shape functions for 2noded and 3noded element shape? 8) What is stiffness? And stiffness matrix? 9) Stiffness matrix properties? 10) 11) 12) Size of the stiffness matrix for some example? What is higher order element? Purpose? What is iso-parametric element? Purpose?

13) What is Jacobean ration? And its range {-1 to 1} 14) Difference between quad and tri elements? and which is best ?{quad}{tria is more stiff constant strain along the length of the triangle}

15) Types of 2d elements {tria and quad}which is best and why?{quad order is more so interpolation function order is more so more accurate results } {tria with 2nd order and quad with 1st order will give more or less same results but tria will take more computational time} 16) Type of 3d elements? Which is best (hex and tetra }{hex is best same as above reason} 17) Aspect ratio, skew, Jacobean ratio, Tet collapse { normally no need this question} 18) What is meant by convergence? 19) How to solve axi-symmetric problems? example plate with a hole both sides axial loading 20) What is torisional stiffness? 21) Why we are seeing von-Mises stress? What is the main use of it? 22) What is the difference between pressure and traction? 23) How to apply gravitational loads in FEM? (i.e., in software ANSYS) 24) What are the DOF (degrees of freedom) for elements? 25) Main equation in FEM? ( F=K*delta) 26) What is meant by explicit and implicit analysis? How it will calculate?
