Services // Analysis // Classical & FEA

With more than decade of experience, Calcate engineers can perform a wide range of structural analysis ranging from simple hand calculations in Excel & Mathcad to complex non-linear finite elements analysis. Our engineers have the skills and experience to perform the most appropriate analysis that your product needs..

We have worked with many customers in diverse fields, including aerospace, automotive, defense, and consumer products. We use simple analytical models to perform the initial sizing of structures, followed by more detailed FEA modeling, with complex loading, materials (metals, plastics, composites), contact, and boundary conditions.

Classical Hand Calculations

Classical hand calculations provide an extremely fast and simple option ID evaluate simple structures & forces Including:

• Free Body diagrams to understand load path
• Sizing simple structures
• Rough analysis prior to CAD/FEA
• Check validity of FEA models

We use hand calculations to size and evaluate structures that have extensive empirical test data such as bolted joints, lugs, splines, etc. These simple structures can be evaluated on limit, ultimate and fatigue load cases.

Finite Elements Analysis (FEA)

We use a variety of techniques and software to evaluate structural performance under different operational conditions and loads.

Our FEA consulting engineers have extensive education and experience in:

• Static, quasi-static, and dynamic analysis
• Linear & nonlinear static analysis with contact
• Plasticity with hardening
• Failure Analysis
• Thermal Analysis
