Finite Element Analysis

Dytecna understands the clients' need for more comprehensive and complex analyses both to assure the integrity of designs, and to identify where savings might be made, driving down cost, lead time, mass and the space requirements of building structures.

In order to achieve this, we perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of various levels of complexity, tailored to the specific needs of each customer or project. This may range from simple linear approximations demonstrating component integrity, to the dynamic simulation of various design alternatives. Features of our approach to FEA include:

• Structural integrity assessment
• Design optimisation
• Mechanical and mechanism design
• Heat transfer modelling
• Failure analysis
• Evaluation and verification

We make it our business to keep up to date with developments in the industry so that the accuracy of our assessment, and in turn, effectiveness of our clients' designs may be improved. We utilise the ANSYS software suite to predict behaviour with a view to determining whether designs are acceptable or unacceptable.

The FEA tasks dovetail with the other services offered by Dytecna Construction Support so that our clients can be offered a thorough and integrated range of support services which is unique in the marketplace.
