Fatigue Analysis
Maximize service life and reliability through comprehensive fatigue assessment.
Fatigue analysis evaluates structural durability under cyclic loading throughout the intended service life. Using advanced FEM tools, we assess stress concentrations, crack initiation sites, and propagation paths to optimize designs for maximum fatigue resistance. Fatigue analysis can reduce the need for maintenance and ensure the structural safety of the structure for the full life time.
One approach is to combine computational analysis with field measurements to capture realistic loading conditions. Dynamic simulations of work cycles provide accurate fatigue load inputs, while strain gauge data validates and refines our models. This integrated methodology ensures reliable predictions and optimal designs.
With particular expertise in welded structures, we help clients meet classification society requirements and international standards. We also provide training to help your team integrate fatigue considerations throughout the design process.

Finding the full potential of CFD
CFD, or Computational Fluid Dynamics, is a method that is often utilized only for the post-design phase, although it is very well suited for wider and efficient use throughout the design process. Optimal use of CFD analysis generally shortens projects’ lead times and improves product assessment. It also provides an excellent basis for preparing digital twins. In process modeling tasks, CFD is an excellent tool for studying the components, for example.
Not only colorful pictures – CFD saves time and money
Did you know that by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) you can save as much as 80 % in design time and 60 % in design costs? During the past 20 years, I’ve been lucky enough to participate in many interesting simulation projects both in Finland and abroad and have seen how clients have received instant help. But what is CFD really? Where can it be applied and why should it be utilized?
