<p>I would like to get a pretty accurate method to do finite element analysis (FEA) on my 3d designs considering the infill. I use <em>Autodesk Inventor</em> to design parts but the FEA can only be applied to a solid body (100% infill). Does anyone know software that can convert a 3d design to another but considering the infill so I can use FEA more accurately?</p>
