A. Finite element analysis simply uses the fundamental laws of physics to calculate the behavior of a material at a set number (finite) number of points. The more points (elements) used in the calculation, the more accuracte the result, but the longer the calculation takes. Forming simulation is not different to finite element analysis, but rather a specific application of the method.
