Finite Elements Analysis
Our expertise
Laflamme Engineering is recognized for its state-of-the-art expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Our analyses are performed by experienced engineers only and are directed by our senior engineer, who has over 35 years of experience in structural analyses. Our team has completed hundreds of projects, from a simple column buckling to analysing the world-famous Canadarm.
We use the famous Ansys™ software to realize structural, modal, thermal and vibration analyses.
Our engineers have the expertise to:
- Determine the appropriate model to produce;
- Carefully select the right types of elements;
- Apply realistic boundary conditions;
- Adequately interpret results;
- Understand and explain the engineering principles behind the results;
- Simplify and communicate clearly the results to our customers.
Our added value
There is no added value in analysing a bad design. When the proposed design does not meet the best practices of structural design, we can anticipate the problems that will arise. That is why, for most of our projects, we study the proposed design and suggest structural modifications before the preliminary analyses. This strategy allows us to meet our customers' objectives in a shorter time, so that the associated costs of finite element analyses will be reduced.
