Where geometry, loading, or service conditions are complex enough that a closed-form calculation is not sufficient on its own, simulation-based analysis fills the gap. Confirming that a design holds up under real operating, transport, and installation loads before it is built, not after.
What's Covered
- Pipe stress analysis: evaluating piping systems under operating loads, thermal expansion, and equipment connection loading to prevent failures and confirm nozzle loads stay within allowable limits.
- Pressure vessel calculations and load evaluations using PV Elite, confirming compliance and reliability under the full range of specified operating conditions.
- Finite element analysis (FEA) using SolidWorks FEA, Inventor FEA, and Autodesk Nastran, for components or assemblies where hand calculation is not sufficient: stress concentrations, complex geometry, combined loading.
- Structural analysis and design for pipe racks, vessels, skids, and non-pressure elements such as platforms and attachments, confirming structural integrity under operating and transport loads.
Why This Matters for Fabrication
Analysis output is only useful if it is tied back to something buildable. A stress report that flags a problem after fabrication has already started does not help anyone. This work is done early enough, and communicated specifically enough, to inform drawing issue rather than chase it.
