FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

From £500.- (no VAT)

Why use FEA?

• Check a component is strong enough to do the job
• Highlight deformation in components
• Locate likely areas of fatigue or fracture
• Improve Strength to Weight Ratio of components
• Check thermal conductivity across a component or assembly 

What have we used this on previously?

• Sports Prototype wishbones and hubs
• Gearbox pick up points on aluminium castings
• Induction components for heat transfer with air flow
• Saloon Car splitter design to check deformation at high speed 
• Kit Car RoPs (Roll Cages) to prove safety margins in case of accident
• Kart and Race Car Chassis to check Torsional Rigidity

What do we include in the cost? 

• Onsite visit to scan or measure component if required
• Post processing of point cloud data if required
• Creation of surface or solid CAD models if required
• FEA derived Stress, Deflection and Factor of Safety values
• Full structural report with screenshots showing areas of concern/improvement 
• Component Design and Analysis if required

How long does it take?

• Scanning and generation of a CAD file is usually completed under two weeks depending on scanner availability
• FEA and Report is usually generated between one and four weeks depending on complexity of components
