Finite element analysis and structural simulation
FEAmax provides finite element analysis services to help engineering teams evaluate strength, stiffness, fatigue life, vibration, thermal stress, impact behavior and design margins before testing, tooling or production.
FEA analysis scope
What Is FEA?
Finite Element Analysis is a numerical simulation method used to predict how a structure responds to real-world loads, temperature, vibration, impact or testing conditions.
Used correctly, FEA helps identify potential design issues early, reduce redesign and testing cost, compare design options and support practical engineering decisions before committing to prototypes, tooling or production.

What We Provide
FEA Project Workflow
FEAmax reviews CAD files, drawings, materials, loading conditions, test requirements and the main engineering concerns.
The analysis scope, material behavior, contacts, constraints, load cases and output requirements are clarified before solving.
The model is simplified where appropriate, contacts are defined and mesh density is controlled in critical regions.
The analysis is solved, results are reviewed for engineering reasonableness and the model is refined when needed.
FEAmax prepares result plots, conclusions, comments and design recommendations in a clear engineering report.
Results can support design changes, testing decisions, supplier communication, tooling or production preparation.
How FEA Accuracy Is Controlled
Simplification is often necessary, but critical features and stress paths must remain representative of the real structure.
Linear, nonlinear, temperature-dependent, plastic, hyperelastic or fatigue material data can strongly affect results.
Loads, supports and constraints should reflect real testing or operating conditions, including worst-case scenarios when required.
Mesh type, density and refinement near critical regions directly influence stress, deflection and convergence behavior.
Bonded, sliding, frictional or nonlinear contact definitions must match how components actually interact.
FEA results require judgment, especially around stress concentration, singularities, constraints and design margins.
Representative FEA Project Types
Evaluate stress, deformation and safety factor for mechanical components, frames, housings, brackets and assemblies.
Estimate fatigue risk and life-related performance for parts exposed to repeated or cyclic loading conditions.
Review temperature-driven deformation and stress where thermal loading affects product reliability or alignment.
Applications and Industries
FEA is widely used when structural performance, durability, thermal behavior or design margins need to be understood before physical testing or production.
