Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Design & Analysis Services to Ensure Equipment Integrity, Safety & Reliability
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a Powerful Computational Method used to Predict how Products React to Real-world Forces, Vibration, Heat, and other Physical Effects.
O’Donnell Consulting offers Expert FEA Design & Analysis Services to Codes including ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel (B&PV). This ensures Equipment Structural Integrity, Safety and Reliability. By working closely with your team, we ensure that our analysis aligns with your unique objectives.
We Perform (Stress, Thermal/Transient, Vibration and Fatigue) Finite Element Analysis on Equipment including Pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Skids and other Power / Process / Manufacturing Components.
The benefits of FEA Analysis includes:
- Creating a Stronger, Safer Product – FEA Determines where Weaknesses are, and is used to Create Stronger Designs – thus Enhancing Equipment Performance.
- Reducing Unneeded Material – Low Stress Areas Add Needless Weight & Cost to the Part.
- Determining the Strength of a Part – FEA Analysis Predicts under what Conditions an Object will Fail and whether it will Meet Code.
Mechanical Engineering
Our Work is Done According to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code. Analysis is Performed by Simulating Various Loading Conditions – Determining Stress and Strain Distributions and Potential Failure Points. This Provides a Comprehensive, Detailed Picture of how a Component will Behave under Various Loading.
