For this project, FEA simulations were carried out using the ANSYS Discovery AIM 2020 R2 software. This software can be used to run many different types of simulations, such as: structural, fluid flow, thermal, and electromagnetic. The necessary steps that must be completed in order to set up and run a structural simulation, as well as properly interpret the simulation results, are described in detail below. There are three main sections to the simulation workflow: "Geometry", "Physics", and "Results".

Geometry
The first step in creating a simulation in Discovery Aim is to import the geometry of the part or assembly that is being studied. This can be done using the following steps:
