FEA Drop Tests Today, more and more manufacturers are switching to analytical drop tests before anything goes into production. This helps save time and money, getting your products to market faster, but there’s more than just saving time and money, FEA offers some benefits that drop testing simply can’t do.
We can perform impact analyses in lieu of drop tests to verify structural integrity. This is an example of a dropped shipping container.
Failures Happen, Learn from Them If you’ve made it here, something probably went wrong. And you don’t want it to happen again. Failure is sometimes inevitable. All we can do is learn from it and fix the issues so it doesn’t happen again. But how do you know what to […]
Normally, we can test impacts using FEA. In this case, FEA wasn't feasible, so we built a test stand to test missile impacts on block walls.
We found that API-650 tanks are more robust than most expect. The water in this tank absorbed 30% of the energy of a truck going 93 mph!
A nuclear plant found that they needed to protect pipes from wind driven missiles. We designed a barrier system for them using 3D modeling and FEA.
Tornado generated missiles can wreak havoc, especially on a nuclear power plant. We helped one site design and optimize a protection system.
Our CFD and FEA Consultants Experience At XCEED, our FEA consultants have over 20 years of experience using solving some of the toughest problems in the world. We started using FEA in the nuclear industry, pioneering it’s use as a cost savings tool. On one project alone, we saved $8.8M […]
