As the government is all-out in building the country’s capabilities for the Fourth Industrial Revolution , a group of Filipino scientists is urging it to harness the potentials of finite element analysis .
Finite Element Institute of the Philippines President Dr. Ria Liza Canlas said the country needs to develop more local talents in FEA as the world market introduces more products for the global economy. “We need to establish a globally competitive expertise in this field,” Briones said. “I am confident this is just the start of something big.”
An expert in aerospace engineering and space technology, DyReyes noted that agencies in space, defense, construction, manufacturing, health, civil engineering and transportation requires FEA. Meanwhile, DyReyes said the main challenge in expanding the program is the acquisition of the MSC Software which is recognized as the top FEA software brand.
