Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
At Sequence, we leverage more than two decades of multidisciplinary engineering experience with cutting-edge finite element analysis, giving you confidence in the outcomes of your engineering projects. Reach out to learn more about how we can support you today.
What is FEA?
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a well established simulation tool that enables the prediction of a structures response to external loads such as pressure, acceleration, gravity, seismic and thermal loads. Finite element analysis enables engineers to refine their designs by simulating and assessing structural performance before manufacturing or construction begins, reducing the risk of unexpected failures.
We Offer FEA Simulation Services in New Zealand and Beyond
As FEA specialists, we provide comprehensive simulation solutions and consultancy services to customers across the globe. Some of those services include:
-
Assessments of structures under various loads to ensure they meet appropriate codes of practice such as ASME VIII Div II, ASME FFS-1/API-579, AS 4991, AS 3990, AS/NZ 4766 or BS7608.
-
Development of steady state or transient thermal loads to ultimately predict the thermal response of a component or system when subject to thermal loads.
-
Analysis of how structures respond to vibrations — crucial for predicting the longevity and stability of components in various conditions.
-
Determining the durability of components under repeated loading cycles, predicting their lifespan and identifying potential failure points.
-
Our finite element analysts provide services in optimising designs for performance, cost, and material usage, ensuring an ideal balance.
-
We provide technical advice and consultancy to aid in design decisions, material selection, and the implications of analysis outcomes.
