General Finite Element Analysis (FEA) capability

About
We can run finite element studies in Abaqus to predict stress, strain, dynamics, and wave behaviour so that teams can make better design and test choices. Our emphasis is practical: we set up models to answer specific questions (Will this bracket fatigue? Where should a sensor go? What frequency range matters?) and we present the results in a form that matches how tests are actually run. We cross-check units, boundary conditions, and material assumptions and flag where results are sensitive.
Within a rail consortium, this supports modelling and test planning work packages. We can prepare pre-test predictions, suggest measurement locations and excitation methods, and later align results with measured data to refine the model. When designs change, we can re-run focused studies quickly so teams keep momentum.
Example applications
• Stress and stiffness of retrofit mounts or housings under vibration.
• Dynamic response of panels, doors, or covers to airflow and track inputs.
• Propagation of elastic waves where that informs sensing concepts.
Deliverables
• Model files, key plots/tables, sensitivity notes, and a short decision-oriented summary.
