With decades of experience in structural analysis FIRMA can critically assess mechanical designs and optimise load paths. With our background in the aerospace industry, we can produce designs that balance strength and weight. Our tooling experience can be used to design cost effective and easily manufactured parts, fabrications and assemblies.
We are conversant in most industry codes and practices, able to produce accompanying reporting to validate structural integrity. We are adept at concise and accurate analysis which gives confidence in highly regulated industries.
In addition to our expertise in hand calculations we are accomplished computational analysts, with years of experience using MSc Patran/Nastran and Hyperworks. We have developed these FEM analysis skills over a variety of industries, including aerospace, nuclear and construction.
We have several experienced fatigue & crack growth analysts with proven track records in the aerospace industry. These analysts have worked for the major aerospace manufacturers to design and approve damage tolerant structures.
A large part of structural analysis on complex projects is data handling and consistency of methods. Using Python and VBA, FIRMA can develop software that streamlines your analysis, increasing accuracy and speed.
Our analysis is supported by the latest industry standard software including, ANSYS Workbench, Nastran, Patran, MathCAD, MS Excel VBA etc.
