Performing finite element analysis (FEA) to Codes including API, AWS and ASME – ensuring equipment structural integrity, safety and reliability. These analyses include thermal/ transient, stress, vibration/shock and fatigue analysis.
The benefits of FEA analysis are:
- Identifying equipment response to mechanical/ thermal loads to determine design/ material deficiencies – and designing subsequent improvements
- Quantifying design cycles, keeping production costs low through design optimization
- Uncovering potential sources of operational/field failures
- Improving operability and minimizing costs
We have supported clients in industries including Petrochemical, Mining, Manufacturing, Transportation, Aerospace and Energy.
