Finite Element Analysis

Finite element analysis (FEA) breaks down large structures into manageable “building blocks” so that a computer can analyze individual segments and develop a picture of the total response.

Capabilities Include:

• Linear, materially and geometrically nonlinear
• Static, dynamic, vibrations, structural dynamics
• Blast / explosion / high-strain-rate applications
• Heat transfer and thermal stress analysis
• Multiple software packages
• Software development including FEA embedded in custom analysis / design packages

Finite Element Analysis uses include:

• Guide design processes / validate designsEvaluate failures / problems and develop solutions
• Optimize designs for weight or similar considerations

Decades of practical experience in applications including:

• Classical building structures
• Industrial equipment including rotating equipment, pressure vessels and high temperature applications
• Aerospace / military structures and systems
