The conclusion of this paper is that a person using finite element analysis softwareto estimate the structural response of an object should first have an idea of the magnitudeof the expected response using basic engineering science before using more advancedcomputer simulation and, then compare the two estimates to support taking a positionwith respect to the acceptability of the predicted response. INTRODUCTION One of the challenges of introducing advanced analysis tools, such as finite elementanalysis (“FEA”), is that too many engineering students are too willing to accept theoutput of a computer program without questioning its validity or
