Services
We provide accurate and reliable finite element analysis reports on a range of products using industry leading technology. For our nuclear clients we provide Response Spectrum Analysis to demonstrate reliability under earthquake motions to ASCE 4. We regularly provide technical documentation and calculations to demonstrate compliance with the design codes and standards.
This free FEA tutorial is for those who are learning finite element analysis, it has worked examples to compare hand calculations with FEA results. We are FEA Consultants and have delivered hundreds of FEA reports to our clients over the years. We have a proven track record of success by verifying design concepts and validation by correlation to actual product testing.
There are some questions that need to be answered before you start the analysis. For example, if you are interested mainly with the durability of a component then this will require a different approach than a linear static analysis. It is not usually cost effective to adopt a 'one size fits all' approach.
The four main types of elements are tetrahedral, bricks, shells and beams. As a general rule tetrahedral elements are used with automatic meshers for complex geometry such as bearing housings. Brick elements are also used for complex geometry but require more user input. Shells are generally used for constant thickness structures such as pressure vessels.
The following table shows the minimum material properties that are required for common types of analysis. Various material databases can be found online or data can be obtained from material testing. Young's modulus is basically the stiffness of a material. For a stiff material such as steel at room temperature it is typically 205 GPa or 205,000 MPa.
