Linear Static Finite Element Analysis

The static behaviour of a structure depends on different aspects related to material properties, boundary conditions, loading, environment.  This section describes finite element simulation of structures submitted to time-independent loadings with linear behaviour.

D2S offers services that cover the whole project from start to finish, from behavior measurements in the real environment to simulation and improvement of the component :

• Measurements:   (see Monitoring)
  • Displacements  
  • Stresses & Strains 
  • Force, Torque, Power
  • …
• Numerical Simulations:
  • Generation of digital model based on FEM (nodes, elements)
  • Pre-processing : affectation of physical properties, boundary conditions and loadings (force, pressure, imposed displacement, self-weight, centrifugal loads, accelerations ...
  • Calculation of displacements, reaction forces, stresses and strains, etc…
  • Post-processing : application of different stress criteria, visualization ...
• Application domains:
  • mechanical industry (automotive, railway, consumer goods ...)
  • construction
  • ...
