Finite Element Analysis If you don’t get the design right the
first time, there can be terrible repercussions for the rest of
the product lifecycle. Although there is no substitute for good
design instinct, finite element analysis (FEA) can give you a
huge advantage in testing a product’s performance. FEA provides
inexpensive, yet reliable, analyses that assure the components
designed are guaranteed for success. The following types of
analysis are available: - Linear structural - Single components
or assemblies - Contact analysis Please contact us so we can

History Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was first developed in
1943 by R. Courant, who utilized the Ritz method of numerical
analysis and minimization of variational calculus to obtain
approximate solutions to vibration systems. Shortly thereafter,
a paper published in 1956 by M. J. Turner, R. W. Clough, H. C.
Martin, and L. J. Topp established a broader definition of
numerical analysis. The paper cen
