Structural analysis and composites

Structural analysis

We offer high competence in structural analysis (FEA), within areas spanning from linear static analysis for structural dimensioning purpose to dynamic analysis related problems such as vibration and damping.
We have broad and extensive background in dimensioning of both isotropic materials such as steel, aluminium, titanium, and non-isotropic materials such as glass- and carbon fibre composites. Our structural engineers are familiar with close collaboration with design engineers and fabrication yards ensuring cost-efficient designs with good producibility.

For structural analysis we use software such as Altair HyperWorks, Staad/Pro, EsaComp and MathCad.
