Hey Tom, hey Carl and Lynn, hey all,
It always looks impressing but it says nothing if you are not able to provide a lot of data to make the results meaningful. I remember one user posted this in order to judge on whether it would have an acceptable deflection when making the 35 mm Y rails 48" long (that was when nobody knew that a Foreman would be released one day). I found that it was not meaningful because I did not see the data used for this but judge yourself.
It’s true you can do this with a lot of softwares including the one Carl and Lynn mentioned (FEM Tutorial).
