Finite Element Analysis
WHAT WE OFFER
Advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
At BWCE Mining, we excel in modelling and analysing intricate structures using advanced finite element analysis techniques. For mining and industrial operations across Australia, our engineers tailor the finite element analysis approach to meet specific project requirements.
We utilise the powerful Strand7 software package for comprehensive structural assessments. Straightforward assessments or complex analysis, we can define how your structures handle a range of unpredictable elements.
Contact our team today on (08) 6404 9771 or email us to discuss your FEA requirements.
Specialised analysis capabilities
Our methodical engineers leverage the elite software package Strand 7. This FEA design tool provides an integrated visual environment that allows us to model and simulate various scenarios. Our FEA capabilities include:
Linear Analysis
Stress and deformation checks under steady, fixed loads.
Natural Frequency Determination
Large deformations, material plasticity, and contact behaviour where load response isn’t proportional.
Harmonic Response Analysis
Structures subject to sustained oscillating or sinusoidal loading from operating machinery.
Transient Load Structural Analysis
Moving loads, sloshing, tipping, and dynamic structural movements.
Buckling Analysis
Towers, columns, bins, and slender structural members under compressive load.
Fatigue Analysis
Structures subject to repeated or cyclic loading across their operating life.
The structures we provide FEA assessments for:
With a wealth of experience in FEA design, BWCE is confident in providing structural analysis services for various static structures, including:
- Tower frames
- Tanks
- Foundations
- Bins
- Hoppers
- Conveyors
- Feeders
- Water Tankers
Why Choose BWCE Mining?
Considered, experienced approach
Our approach prioritises safety, considering factors such as the number of cycles and design life, all grounded in engineering best practices.
Dynamic analysis adaptability
Strand7 equips us with these dynamic finite element analysis tools to model, modify, and re-analyse quickly. Where a structure needs strengthening (adding stiffeners to flanges), we can update the model and re-assess without rebuilding the analysis from scratch.
