21. Meshing To make the finite element analysis we must first divide the object into small elements, this is called meshing.

33. FEM Solution & Plotting Results Now we already developed the geometry, Loads & Displacements and the meshing. We will start with the finite element analysis and obtain the displacements and stresses on the key points.
After make the FEM solution we are able to plot the results, in this case the displacements and stresses.
