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.
