Finite Element Analysis (FEA )

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to understand and predict product behavior and is extremely valuable for today's demanding products. Hexapent’s talented engineers model your product using Simulation software’s from your CAD files. We collaborate with design engineers for analyzing the product behavior, predict failures and creep, and optimize the product design accordingly. Our team of FEA specialist engineers helps your design engineers take design decisions early and expedite product development stage.

We provide design optimization and analysis services for mechanical equipment used in various plants such as industrial plants, sheet metal product manufacturers, automotive OEM and ancillaries and pressure vessel manufacturers

Our team of FEA specialist engineers helps your design engineers take design decisions early and expedite product development stage and avoid last minute hassles. . To ensure accuracy in results, we also perform validity checks such as convergence analysis, boundary conditions review and hand calculations, allowing manufacturers to validate their designs faster.

Hexapent’s Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Capability:

AEG provides a full range of engineering simulation services in the form of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to drive your product designs from concept to product. AEG has over a decade of finite element analysis experience and can solve your most difficult engineering analysis problems. We have extensive experience in many areas of engineering and analysis, including:

Linear and non-linear static:

Response of structure to critical loads and modeling of contact (allowing analysis of assemblies), non-linear material behavior and large deformations

Buckling:

Critical compression static load or combination of loads that results in instability

Normal modes, frequency response and response spectrum:

Response to vibrations and frequency driven excitations.

Random response:

Response of structure to excitations defined with probabilistic magnitude (spectral density function)

Transient, dynamic, vibration and seismic response:

Response of structure through time with variations of boundary condition

Impact (implicit and explicit solvers):

Response of structure following collision (crash tests and drop tests)

Steady state and transient heat transfer:

Temperature distribution within a solid body 

Thermal stress:

· Stress induced by temperature distribution

Fatigue (multi axial and vibration fatigue analysis):

· Predict the life of a structure subjected to cyclic loading or vibrations

Optimization :

· Parametric and Topological

Forensic engineering :

failure analysis and root cause diagnostic, reconstruction of impact and accident using simulation, biomechanical engineering.
