Finite Element analysis - fea services
The team at QED Consulting Engineers are trained to use the latest industry-standard Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Software packages for steel, light-gauge steel, and concrete design. Our highly skilled and experienced team is proficient with FEA modeling, ensuring we can deliver fast analysis and design of economical, strong, and safe structures.
Incorporating FEA into our Structural Engineering workflow has numerous advantages when compared to single-element design methodology, including a faster design process, reduced material usage, and optimised strength-weight ratios for efficient and cost-effective design. Moreover, by creating a FEA model we can assess the structure as a whole, identifying potential failure points and weaknesses early in the design phase, giving you confidence in our solutions, reducing back-and-forth communication, and overall streamlining the design development and construction.
Our expertise in FEA allows us to precisely and clearly coordinate our Structural design with all of the relevant project stakeholders, resulting in a hassle-free and smooth process from Design Development through to Construction. We can integrate our Structure with Architectural BIM models, structural steel shop drawings, light-gauge steel models, services engineers, and more
- With Finite Element Analysis, our Engineers can simulate real-world conditions with linear static analysis and nonlinear dynamic simulations, to assess how structures will perform under various loads and environmental factors like gravity, wind, and earthquakes. These tools provide comprehensive insights that drive informed decision-making throughout both the design and construction phases. This methodology allows us to make iterative design improvements, ensuring that your structures meet and exceed the Australian Standards and building regulations.
- The use of FEA is critical in the design of steel and concrete steel structures, especially for more complex Commercial projects such as steel warehouses, industrial buildings, offices, Educational facilities, bridges, medium to high-rise buildings, and more. These complicated structures have many elements, and FEA is critical to ensure the structural integrity of the entire building in accordance with the Australian Standards, and for clear coordination and documentation during the development of the project.
