FEA Analysis

Finite Element Analysis

The finite element method is based on subdividing a complex engineering problem into smaller more manageable (finite) elements allowing the problem to be solved.
 
Finite Element Analysis has become the tool of choice for optimizing new designs, verifying the fitness of existing materials and evaluating new concepts in the Energy Industry.

The Process

If there are excessive external loads or large variable temperature profiles on the flange in question,  INTEGRA has FEA capabilities that would be utilized to gain insight of the resulting deflections and stresses within the joint.
