FEM Calculations
(Finite Element Method)

How You Benefit from Professional FEM Calculations

FEM calculations are applied in various fields such as structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, electromagnetics, and others, to evaluate the performance, strength, or other properties of products, structures, or processes. They are an important tool in engineering practice and are often used for optimizing designs and predicting behavior under various conditions.

An FEM calculation refers to the Finite Element Method (FEM), a numerical technique for solving engineering and physics problems. This method is used to analyze complex systems by dividing them into smaller, simpler parts (elements) that are interconnected. Their behavior can thus be analyzed more easily.

An FEM Calculation...

...answers questions such as:

...ensures quality and durability

It is particularly important to verify load-bearing structural elements, such as beams and stiffeners. If a force acts on a component, it should be professionally calculated under what circumstances it can no longer withstand it.

...provides clear recommendations

Regardless of whether there is a need for action concerning stiffness, stability, or weight – an FEM calculation shows how safe a machine or product is, whether improvements are needed, or if material can even be saved.

How we support your project

Data Acquisition &
Model Preparation

We collect all data and CAD models and prepare them in the FEM software.

Analysis &
Calculation

We input all forces, temperatures, and flows and perform a comprehensive program calculation, including possible adjustments of the program parameters.

Interpretation &
Communication

We interpret all results and summarize them in a report for you. The presentation can be done in a detailed discussion upon request.

Optimal Support with These Tools

Here's what your FEM calculation could look like

Example Topology Optimization:
Consideration of force flows and localization of stress-free areas

Topology optimization is a special procedure within the Finite Element Method (FEM). It determines the optimal material distribution in a given design space to meet a specific performance requirement. In this example, we considered the force flows and localized stress-free areas.
