Numerical Modeling Using Finite Elements
The following is a sampling of analytical projects using
FEA methods.
A variety of equipment, design conditions of pressure & temperature, materials of construction
can be modeled via finite element methodologies. FEA can be applied to new designs and to
trouble shooting of exisiting problem designs. ASME VIII Div 2 code provides rules for
the evaluation of the design by analysis approach. API 579 Level 3 fitness for service assessments
are frequent candidates for FEA tools.
