Finite Element Analysis
WHAT THIS MEANS
When pushing the normal design boundaries, complex scenarios tend to arise in which case traditional design calculations are unable to provide the best insight.
The use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software packages helps provide a more accurate representation and understanding of the stress and strains within a
structural system and defines how much further the boundaries can be pushed.
VERRIFIED'S APPROACH
Verrified has a wide range of FEA experience and capabilities including dynamic and time history analyses of global and local models, linear and nonlinear
material considerations, and various other types of analysis methods.
Some of our analysis experience includes:
- Fire and blast assessment using beam and/or shell elements
- Boat collision analysis on fixed platforms
- Drop object analysis for deck assessments
- Solid element analysis for extreme lifting
- Complex connection designs and repairs
