Structural analysis by FEA
We ensure robust designs, capable of withstanding operational stresses, vibrations, and environmental challenges. Our analyses include:
- Linear static analysisStresses, displacements, and margins under operational loads.
- Nonlinear static analysisGeometric, material, and contact nonlinearity.
- Buckling analysisStability limits and critical load factors.
- Modal analysisNatural frequencies and mode shapes.
- Frequency response analysisDynamic response to harmonic excitation and vibration.
Our FEA skills
- Developing and running global and detailed finite element models for multiple scenarios
- Meshing structures in 1D, 2D, and 3D using the MSC Nastran element library
- Modeling and analyzing composite and metallic structures
- Modeling joints, multi-part assemblies, and contacts
- Performing submodeling
- Performing static condensation (DMIG, Guyan reduction)
- Defining the right boundary conditions
- Performing verification and validation of our simulations
- Documenting the complete finite element analysis
Why choose Simulation Experts?
Flexible collaboration
We understand the challenges engineering companies face. Our services are structured around your budget and timelines, so you get high-value results during the critical early stages of development.
Top-tier tools
Using the MSC One solutions (MSC Patran, MSC Nastran, MSC Apex Modeler, Structures, and Generative Design), we analyze and optimize your designs with accuracy and speed.
No software investment
You don't need to invest in expensive FEA software or high-performance computers. We handle the tools and deliver the analysis directly to your project.
Rapid innovation
Our expertise helps your organization accelerate product development, explore multiple design concepts, and focus on creating market-ready solutions.
Quotation process
Transparent and efficient quoting, tailored to your needs.
- 1
Initial consultation
Connect with Dominique Madier to discuss the technical requirements of your simulation project. If needed, we sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before the discussion to ensure confidentiality.
- 2
Project details
To streamline the process, we typically request a concise Statement of Work (SOW) outlining the project objectives and simulation scenarios, and the 3D CAD geometry for an accurate evaluation of your project.
- 3
Competitive quotation
Based on this information, we quickly deliver a competitive quote. You choose between fixed-cost pricing for predictable budgets and time-based pricing for flexible needs.
We charge only for engineering time. Computation time is always included at no additional cost.
Innovate with Simulation Experts
Simulation Experts gives your organization access to the industry's most advanced simulation technologies and senior FEA expertise from the start of your project, without the software investment.
