          Element Analysis of the Connector |  | 
      
        Cast Connex design engineers used
        finite element analysis (FEA)  to design the transition section
        between the cylinder section and the two plate fins. 
        FEA verified the smooth blending of the
        cylinder into the fins, avoiding stress concentrations and maintaining
        stresses below the material yield strength.
