Flow and strength analyses

What is meant by Flow and strength analyses?

"Flow and Structural Analyses" refer to technical investigations and simulations that analyze the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) and the mechanical strength of materials and structures under various loading conditions. These analyses are commonly used in engineering and construction to ensure that materials and constructions meet the required performance and safety standards.
