Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Real-world Experience from Professional Engineers
Eclipse’s thorough finite element solutions will undoubtedly improve your products and provide for greater profitability. Eclipse engineers and developers have been applying our techniques to a variety of industries including chemical process, energy/utility, medical, petroleum, nuclear, food, pharmaceutical, and telecommunications. Advanced degrees, real-world experience, and Professional Engineering status are a pre-requisite for our engineers.
What Can You Expect From FEA?
- Reduce product cost
- Meet contract expectations
- Validate ("Go / No-Go" or optimize) a design
- Develop loading criteria for dependant systems
- Predict and/or bound a product's capabilities in order to direct its applicability to the market
- Reduce failures to retain market share and prevent warranty returns, litigation, etc.
- Provide an alternative to numerous prototype / testing cycles
- Predict effects of end-user usage
- Make designers / engineers more capable of making analytical decisions
How Can You Ensure You Get What You Need?
- Determine analysis objective up front
- Thoroughly define and bound scope of analysis project
- Consider general approaches and identify regions of lower importance
- Evaluate effects of using various alternative approaches
- Ensure elected modeling technique is flexible for "what if" scenarios
- Understand effect of realistic boundary conditions on objective
- Interpret and correlate FEA results to reference material
- Quantify response (stress, deflection, etc.) sensitivity to design features
- If design does not meet objective "shortest distance between two points is a straight line..."
