Finite Element Analysis has become a powerful tool for Industry, specially, in the Design and Development sector. In response to that, Mechanical Engineering Programs followed by Mechanical Engineering Technology programs all across the country are incorporating Finite Element Analysis as a part of their curricula. This paper describes the distribution of Finite Element Analysis amongst the junior and senior level courses in Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum at Georgia Southern University. The links between these classes with sophomore classes are established. A stand alone senior level elective course that covers more in depth of Finite Element theory is also developed.

Virtual prototype plays an important role in agile designing and manufacturing. Finite Element Analysis and multibody analysis software can also assist engineers with developing and analyzing sophisticated machines. In this paper, a virtual model of an automobile wiper is modeled and used to be simulated under virtual environment of ADAMS, which is a famous tool in mechanical engineering. After simulation, the vibration and noise that the wiper works with have been found and some suggestions are given in discussion and conclusion.

This paper uses a rear sub-frame as the mother model and uses Reverse engineering technology to measure the rear sub-frame point cloud through ATOS non-contact scanners. Then, the point cloud‘s data processing is completed in Imageware. Finally, the point cloud is imported into UG NX4.0 software, after a series of surface cutting, chamfer suturing and sheet thickening; the sub-frame’s three-dimensional model is established. Besides, we complete the static finite element analysis and modal analysis of the sub-frame’s three-dimensional model through the ANSYS software. The results of analysis support theoretical basis for the structural improvement of sub-frame.

In engineering technology, it is necessary to compare different designs in an optimization project. Therefore a big problem is how to obtain finite element analysis (FEA) data involving different parameters and how to acquire optimization parameters from the results of FEA to solve the optimization problem rapidly. The parametric mesh (Paramesh) method, automatically based on history of complicated special surfaces, is developed to obtain many results of FEA involving different parameters. This paper is presented to demonstrate the method of parametric finite element analysis (PFEA). The optimization method of process parameters optimization is based on combining PFEA/ ANN (artificial nerve net)/GA (genetic arithmetic) to find out optimization parameters. This allows one to rapidly obtain optimization parameters during a design by doing FEA only once. The research indicates that the parameters optimization method based on PFEA/ANN/GA in the product design can short the product development cycle, decrease material consumption and guarantee product quality, etc.
