Chair Mesh Analysis and Computation

This document summarizes the results of a finite element analysis simulation. The model contains 35,156 nodes and 24,578 elements. Steel and oak materials were defined. Boundary conditions and a 500 lb force were applied. The analysis calculated displacements, stresses, reactions, and a strain energy of 0.052 J. Figures 2-4 show deformed shapes and von Mises stress distributions. The global error rate was reported as 12.278%.
