Finite Element Analysis
Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Xodus provides expert structural and mechanical analysis to clients in the oil and gas and renewable energy industries. Analyses are performed as part of the design and verification process in accordance with the appropriate international codes and operator specifications. Safety critical components are assessed for operating loads such as tension, bending and pressure as well as for accidental loads such as impact.
Powerful though FEA and Non-linear Finite Element Analysis (NLFEA) tools are, it is our technical excellence and years of experience that sets Xodus apart. The FEA team collaborates with clients at every stage of the process, explaining results in terms that the non-specialist can understand and going beyond analysis to give rapid, clear guidance and commercially-aware reports before prototyping or production. In addition, we can eliminate or defer repairs or identify conservatisms inherent in traditional design methods, consequently saving our fees many times over.
