Abstract :
Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to finite element analysis (FEA), have had tentative degrees of success over the last few years and some authors have argued that effective FEA can help in the manufacture, reliability and safety aspects of engineered artefacts. The author of this paper reviews how such AI techniques have been applied and in this light, the author then uses a fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM), to develop a framework for the management of intelligence-assisted FEA
