FEA

Manufacturing & Assembly Process Simulation

Sequential Assembly Simulation

Multi-step assembly sequence idealization to determine residual stresses as a function of the fastening sequence.

Virtual Manufacturing & Integrity Assessment

Simulating the physics of forming to predict post-process defects

Post-Forming Springback & Compensation

Non-linear analysis of geometric deviations after forming and the optimization of tool geometry for compensation.

Pressure vessel Design-by-Analysis

Executing high-fidelity structural assessments of pressure vessels and heat exchangers in accordance with ASME Section VIII (Div 1 & 2), utilizing stress linearization and categorization to validate primary, secondary, and peak stress limits.

Piping Flexibility & Stress Analysis

Leveraging CAESAR II to perform comprehensive flexibility analysis of complex piping systems per ASME B31.3/B31.1, accounting for thermal expansion, seismic loading, and nozzle interaction forces.

Equipment-Pipe Interface Validation

Idealizing boundary conditions and support stiffness to ensure that localized stresses at equipment nozzles remain within allowable code limits during extreme operating cycles.
