Every calculation requires a transparent basis. We perform our calculations in accordance with recognized standards and disclose all assumptions—so that your certification body, your client, or your own design department can verify the results.
Our standard tool for static and fatigue analysis of components. We perform the analysis using the stresses from the FEM calculation, including evaluation of notches, surface effects, and sensitivity to mean stress.
Design of pressure vessels in accordance with both standard formulas and the design-by-analysis approach using finite element analysis. We perform verification checks for plastic deformation and fatigue.
An alternative approach to compliance with EN 13445-3 if your customer or testing agency requires the AD regulations—which is often the case in plant engineering and for existing facilities.
Design calculations for steel structures, frames, and welded structures, including stability and fatigue. Relevant wherever mechanical engineering is combined with structural engineering.
Verification of the structure against the load cases specified in the standard—static longitudinal and vertical loads as well as operating loads. We perform fatigue analysis and verify the required stiffness and natural frequency criteria using finite element analysis.
Definition and mathematical verification of the requirements for frames. We evaluate exceptional and operational load cases and verify both the static strength and the fatigue strength.
Calculation of single-bolt and multi-bolt fasteners—from the compliance of the clamped parts, through settlement behavior and tightening factor, to fatigue strength and surface pressure. We also offer design analyses of bolted joints in combination with finite element analysis.
All results are checked for three things: whether the mesh is sufficiently fine, whether the physical target variables have reached a steady-state value (physical convergence—for steady flows), and whether the solution converges numerically.
However, when measured values are available, we calibrate the model against them and report the deviation in the report.
We maintain records in accordance with the specified regulations and document them in a verifiable manner. This is not a certification and does not replace acceptance by a testing agency. We would be happy to coordinate the scope directly with your testing agency in advance.
