Advanced structural modelling for when standard calculation methods aren't enough.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful computational method used to model how structures and components behave under applied loads. By breaking a complex structure into thousands of small elements and solving the governing equations across all of them simultaneously, FEA gives engineers insight into stress distribution, deflection, and failure modes that traditional hand calculations simply cannot capture.
For structural engineering, FEA is particularly valuable when dealing with non-standard geometry, unusual loading conditions, or structures where optimising material use is important.
QED's engineering team applies FEA across a range of project types, including:
Our engineers are trained and experienced users of industry-leading FEA software for structural analysis. We apply FEA as a tool within our broader structural engineering practice — meaning the results are always interpreted and applied by experienced engineers who understand the real-world implications, not just the numbers.
All FEA-based designs and reports produced by QED are fully documented, clearly presented, and designed to satisfy building surveyors, certifiers, and peer reviewers.
