An untested product is a liability, posing safety risks, unnecessary expenses, and costly redesign. But you can avoid equipment failure with FEA.
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a mechanical engineering solution that simulates exactly how your equipment responds under actual operating conditions, including vibration, heat, pressure, and load fatigue.
Our team helps you validate your designs, solve equipment challenges, or optimize an existing product for better performance.
Many of our clients just know that their equipment isn’t functioning properly, their customer has improvement requests, or a new design needs to be validated before it goes to market.
You don’t need to know the terminology to get results from finite element analysis modeling.
Calculate how your structure holds up under steady, non-moving loads to rate capacity, validate your design, and confirm code compliance.
Example applications: Railroad hopper car structural analysis, mobile auger rack load rating, truck frame analysis, mounting plate stress analysis, warehouse racking capacity, conveyor platform structural verification
Model what happens when materials yield, parts deflect significantly, or components press against each other, which linear analysis can’t capture.
Example applications: D-ring maximum force analysis for ground support equipment, rectangular tank design, structural framing design.
Predict how long a component will last under repeated, cyclic loading and pinpoint where fatigue is most likely to occur, so failures don't surface after the product is already in service.
Example applications:
Mounting plate fatigue assessment, pressure-vessel mixer nozzle fatigue analysis, carrier fatigue life prediction.Find your structure's natural frequencies and model how it responds to vibration, impact, and motion over time, so you can avoid resonance and confirm dynamic performance.
Example applications:
Structural framing with modal assessment, box-and-support structural analysis, agricultural equipment vibration.Identify the load at which slender or thin-walled structures become unstable and collapse—well before they reach their material stress limits.
Example applications:
Support columns for a tank/platform, wall stability of a buried tank.Simulate how air, fluid, and heat actually move through and around your product, to answer performance questions beyond hand calculations.
Example applications:
Data center thermal energy storage tank cooling, airflow and vortex design.Combine FEA with code-based calculations for pressure vessels, storage tanks, and process equipment built to ASME, API, and UL standards.
Example applications:
20,000-gallon tank design review, ASME tank calculations, condensate receiver design, nozzle load analysis, manway development, bottom head designs.Anyone can hand you a visual FEA stress plot. But that’s not an explanation of your specific equipment challenge or the strategy to solve it.
We’ve served clients in over 40 industries, from construction and manufacturing to agriculture, energy and mining, railroad, and more.
Our answer to any new FEA challenge is “Yes.”
