Verification of complex geometries and non-standard conditions through numerical modeling. We simulate physical behavior to quantify performance where prescriptive code formulas are insufficient or overly conservative.

​FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS (FEA)

​

• Detailed stress and stability verification for non-standard connections and load paths.

• Stress Linearization: Identification of stress concentrations and Von Mises yield criteria compliance.

• Geometric Non-Linearity: Analysis of P-Delta effects, large deformations, and cable structures.

• Material Non-Linearity: Simulation of post-yield behavior and plastic redistribution.

• Eigenvalue Buckling: Prediction of local and global instability modes in slender elements.
