Internationally renowned for our structuralist approach, we specialise in calculations using finite element analysis (FEA). Our services are retained not only to design the structure, but to minimise the cost and ensure efficient building times.

Finite element analysis is used to optimise structures so as to achieve the perfect balance between required performance and weight. The analysis is carried out according to the project’s needs, from an analysis of the structure itself, to that of a complete yacht.

It helps designers and builders to predict the life span of the material or the structure, predicting the effect that load cycles will have on them. This analysis can show the areas that are most likely to crack, in addition to predicting tolerance to material fatigue.

It has become a solution in the task of predicting failure due to unknown stress, showing the stress distribution problems in the material and allowing designers to see all stresses involved. This method of designing and testing the product is better than the trial and error method, which entails manufacturing costs associated with building each model to test on. Lastly, the analysis allows for the precise calculation of materials, thus optimizing costs of the part to be built.

In summary, benefits of FEM include increased accuracy, enhanced design and better insight into critical design parameters, virtual prototyping, fewer hardware prototypes, a faster and less expensive design cycle, increased productivity, and increased revenue.
