A numerical engineering method used to predict the structural behaviour of components under applied loading conditions.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer-based engineering technique that divides complex structures into interconnected finite elements to calculate stresses, strains, deformation, vibration, heat transfer and other physical responses under defined loading conditions. FEA is widely used to evaluate equipment integrity, optimize designs and support engineering assessments where analytical solutions are impractical.
FEA enables engineers to predict equipment behaviour, assess design adequacy and evaluate the effects of defects, loads and operating conditions before physical testing or modification.
FEA is frequently applied to pressure vessels, piping, rotating equipment, structural steelwork and complex mechanical components where detailed stress analysis is required.
Finite Element Analysis is a numerical simulation technique used to support engineering decisions and is often employed as part of advanced Fitness-for-Service assessments.
