FEM calculation & simulation
FEM calculation that convinces
From idea to validated component.
When you need an FEM calculation
An FEM calculation is essential when …
- load-bearing components or welded structures must withstand high or recurring loads.
- a component failure could endanger people or property and a calculated verification is required.
- CE marking or conformity documentation requires a robust strength verification.
- material and weight optimisation is economically worthwhile without compromising safety.
- an existing system needs to be checked for new load cases as part of a retrofit.

Services
Our services
Static analysis
Linear and non-linear strength verification under static loads – stresses, deformations and safety factors verified to Eurocode / ÖNORM EN.
Dynamic analysis
Modal and frequency response analysis to determine natural frequencies, resonance risks and vibration behaviour under operating loads.
Non-linear buckling analysis
Stability verification of thin-walled profiles and slender structures including load-carrying capacity beyond the first buckling mode.
Weld seam calculation
Strength verification of welded joints under static and cyclic load using nominal stress or structural stress concepts.
Fatigue analysis
Fatigue life estimation under cyclic loading to S-N curve / FKM guideline to prevent fatigue failure.
Topology & weight optimisation
Material reduction while maintaining stiffness and strength – for lighter, more cost-efficient components.

Frequently asked questions
What documents do you need for an FEM calculation?
3D CAD model (STEP or native: Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360), load cases and boundary conditions, material specifications as well as use case and ambient conditions.
How long does an FEM calculation take?
Simple analyses 2–3 working days, complex calculations 1–3 weeks – depending on complexity.
What does the calculation report include?
Documentation of boundary conditions, visualisation of results, interpretation of results, optimisation suggestions and standards-compliant verification.
Which standards do you calculate to?
Depending on the application to Eurocode 3/9, ÖNORM EN 1993, the FKM guideline for strength verification and customer-specific requirements. If your standard is not listed, just get in touch.
Can you also verify weld seams and fatigue strength?
Yes. We combine FEM results with structural stress or notch stress concepts and the FKM guideline to deliver robust, verifiable statements on weld seam and fatigue strength.
