Reducing stress concentration through shadowing: parametric study in FreeCAD FEA

Did you know that you can add a notch next to a notch, and reduce the stress concentration factor in a part? In this video I give a demonstration of this effect using a parametric finite element analysis set up in FreeCAD.

You can download the freecadparametricfea library via pypi https://pypi.org/project/freecadparametricfea/
