FEM - Simulation

Using FEM simulations, we analyze the strength, deformation, vibration behavior, and other mechanical stresses of your components and structures. From static to dynamic, linear to nonlinear, and thermal analyses—we have the right method for your challenge.

By using state-of-the-art simulation tools in combination with our experienced engineers, we can provide you with insight into how a component will perform even before the first prototypes are built. This computer simulation saves you the trouble of time-consuming testing and helps you reach your goal faster.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method based on solving systems of differential equations. It enables the solution of diverse problems for complex geometries. For this purpose, the component is discretized, meaning it is divided into small elements. The physical behavior of these elements is defined by shape functions.
Das physikalische Verhalten dieser Elemente wird mit Ansatzfunktionen beschrieben.

FEA Services

Strength Analysis

Resulting stresses and deformations are calculated based on the applied loads. This allows us to identify the root causes of component failure (e.g., local stress concentrations, unwanted plastic deformation) and develop targeted design solutions.

Weight optimization

A finite element simulation can reveal oversizing or structural weaknesses under a given load. The results help optimize the component to reduce weight in areas of lower stress.

Thermal Analysis

The Finite Element Method (FEM) allows for the determination of temperature distribution in components under thermal load. This temperature distribution can induce thermal stresses and deformations.

Modal Analysis

Structural vibrations manifest as acoustic radiation; furthermore, excessive mechanical stresses can occur due to resonance effects. Frequency analysis can be used to identify these critical resonances.

Fastening & Sealing Technology

When facing challenges with bolted joints or sealing issues, we are here to support you—not only with FEA calculations but also with decades of experience.

Fatigue Strength & Operational Durability

In addition to static strength, we ensure your product offers fatigue strength and operational durability. We identify critical areas and derive constructive design improvements.

Dynamic Analysis

Simulating dynamic systems allows us to determine the forces resulting from a prescribed motion. Conversely, we can calculate the resulting dynamics and forces under applied loads. Excessive loads can lead to damage in bearings and joints, as well as cause large, unwanted deformations. Combining such dynamic analyses with structural strength calculations helps you significantly extend the service life of stressed components.
