Best use case

fea-structural is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Expert FEA skill for aerospace structural analysis workflows

Teams using fea-structural should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Finite Element Analysis Skill

## Purpose
Provide expert finite element analysis capabilities for aerospace structural analysis including static stress, buckling, and dynamic response.

## Capabilities
- NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS model setup
- Mesh generation and quality metrics
- Element type selection and justification
- Load case definition and combination
- Boundary condition specification
- Static stress analysis execution
- Buckling and stability analysis
- Results post-processing and margin calculation

## Usage Guidelines
- Select appropriate element types based on structural geometry and loading
- Verify mesh quality metrics meet aerospace standards
- Apply proper load factors per certification requirements
- Use correct material allowables for temperature and environment
- Calculate margins of safety using appropriate failure criteria
- Document all modeling assumptions and simplifications

## Dependencies
- MSC NASTRAN
- ABAQUS
- ANSYS
- HyperMesh
- Femap

## Process Integration
- AE-007: Finite Element Analysis Workflow
- AE-008: Fatigue and Damage Tolerance
- AE-009: Composite Structure Design
