FEA isnt commonly used in the bicycle industry, or at least not to the extent which i would > like! This is because its incredibly expensive, both in software, hardware and employee
salary. Fortunately I have unlimited (free, and legal) access to FEA software and a variety of > computing clusters to crunch the numbers.
Looking for a either the left hand or pair of campag shifters for my gf's tourer as the housing has cracked. It's got a Mirage 3 x 8 group on it, so if I swap out to a pair of non-Mirage shifters they would need to be 8 speed. Thanks!

I don't think that's strictly true. There's a lot of FEA being done by most of the big manufacturers, particularly with composite frames.
