Structural Analysis
Elomatic provides a full range of services in the field of structural analysis and we are widely trusted partner for demanding structural analysis projects. Our structural analysis experts have conducted thousands of structural, vibration, fatigue and heat analyses. The analysis give you a clear indication as to what loads your structures will withstand, and if needed, recommendations.
Where can structural analysis be applied?
Structural analysis is best suited to the concept and design phase of projects, but can also be used to study and correct structural problems of existing structures.
What are the benefits of Structural Analysis?
Ensuring structural strength in the early design phases avoids costly and even potentially dangerous design errors later on. In a best-case scenario structural analysis can completely eliminate the need to build and test prototypes.
