Some main sources of error are as follows:
1. Not correctly using the commands
2. Using a wrong structural geometry

In the result the calculated maximum stress does not situate at the
ground of the real notch as expected.

5. a wrong FE model
The plate (plane stress) showed here is a symmetrical body referring to
two axis x and y. The given loading on this plate is, however, only
symmetric referring to the y axis.
y
In case the plate is only loaded by the force F and without the moment
M M wrong M, just a quarter of the body would have been consider for the FE
F F simulation then.
x
6. Using wrong units for the analysis

body right
The result of the FE analysis shows always a simple numerical value
without unit. Therefore, a strongly checking the result is necessary.
FE model

Modelling procedure Optimal element form
Before building a model some questions should be clarify, by discussing

with customer or with experts:
1. How does the body look like?

2. What do I want to calculate, what do I want to find out about the
analysis, e.g. stiffness (deformation), stress distribution, eigenvalue ?
3. What kind of loads should be implemented ?
4. How is the body fixed (boundary conditions) ?
5. Which material of the body insists of ?
6. how exact should the analysis be and how expensive can it be ? (very
important !!!)

Reasonable FE model

Element interconnection
A corner node of an element should strictly be connected with a corner
node of the neighbour element.
Two identical nodes at the same place represent a discontinuity of the

material distribution

Hitting a corner node of an element is to be connected only with a hitting

a corner node of the neighbour element.
With not compatible coupling the border of two elements represents a crack.
