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. The pictures shown throughout correspond to an example structural simulation run on an armchair geographygeometry. There are three main sections to the simulation workflow: "Geometry", "Physics", and "Results".

Note: Under the current student version of the software, any geometry imported is subject to a limit of 50 bodies and 300 faces.
