FEA Analysis / Structural Simulation
Understand what happens inside your component. With FEA calculations, we make the invisible visible—early, digitally, and reliably. This allows you to identify risks before they arise.
Simulation instead ofexpensive prototypes
FEA Simulation for True Clarity
FEA calculations are a valuable tool in product development for visualizing the behavior of materials, components, and assemblies under different conditions and loads. Design or construction errors can be detected early using structural simulation. This enables you to save valuable time and resources while maximizing your profit.
As an FEA service provider, we use FEA calculations to make physics visible, providing you with digital insights into your product development that would otherwise remain physically hidden. This not only saves you time and valuable resources.
Our services
FEA Services tailored to your requirements
With FEA calculations, we make the behavior of materials, components, and assemblies visible under real-world conditions – even before physical prototypes are created. This allows you to identify design flaws early, save valuable resources, and measurably accelerate your product development.

Your challenges – our solutions
you require a verifiable strength analysis or CE-compliant documentation, e.g., within the framework of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
you want to secure components already in the development phase – using virtual prototypes to control function, weight, and costs.
you want to identify risks early and save development time – through simulation-supported evaluation before physical implementation.
you want to physically understand complex component behavior, e.g., visualize stresses, flows, temperatures, or deformations.
real tests take too long or are too expensive – then we simulate variants, parameter studies, or comparative tests for you.
Benefits of FEA Calculations
Measurable value. Verifiable quality.
With virtual simulations and well-founded calculations, we support you in developing products faster, safer, and more economically. Our aspiration: reliable results you can count on.
Analysis of Product Properties
We examine the behavior of your components under real load cases – precisely, comprehensibly, and ideally for optimization in the early development phase.
Cost-Efficient Prototypes
Virtual simulations replace elaborate test series – saving development time, reducing costs, and bringing your ideas to market faster.
Fast Time-to-Market
Through targeted calculations, you identify weaknesses early and reduce correction loops – for a smooth transition to production.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Quick answers. Clear solutions.
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our FEA services.
What is the Finite Element Method?
The Finite Element Method is a numerical simulation technique for calculating physical effects in complex structures. A component is virtually divided into numerous simple sub-bodies, which are referred to as finite elements.
Since the behavior of these small elements can be described mathematically with precision, a computer can calculate the interaction within the overall system. This enables us to accurately predict stresses, deformations, or heat distributions and digitally validate components before physical prototypes are manufactured.
What are the advantages of a Finite Element Analysis?
The advantages of FEA lie in the precise digital validation of your design. As a numerical method, the Finite Element Method (FEA) is based on fundamental physical laws. By dividing the component into the smallest elements, the behavior of complex systems can be simulated accurately.
- Safety and standards: An FEA analysis enables computational strength verification for mechanical components, for example according to the FKM guideline.
- Mastering complexity: We perform both linear and nonlinear analyses to find the optimal solution for every physical problem.
- Efficiency: FEA simulation reduces expensive prototypes and significantly shortens development time. Expertise: With our expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and complementary CFD simulations, we offer you a comprehensive technical assessment of your innovations.
Through targeted FEA analysis, you technically validate your projects while simultaneously increasing the cost-effectiveness of your product development.
What do you need from us to start as an FEA service provider?
For a structural mechanical calculation, we typically require 3D CAD data, information on materials, loads, boundary conditions, and – most importantly – your objective: Is it about strength, deformation, service life, or optimization? Simply upload your data via our contact form or speak directly with us – as an FEA calculation office, we will check what is possible free of charge.
What tasks can we undertake for you as an FEA service provider?
With the Finite Element Method, we analyze component deformations, stresses, natural frequencies, stability (buckling), fatigue, thermal effects, and much more – for steel, aluminum, and other materials. Not sure if FEA is suitable for your case? As an experienced FEA service provider, we are happy to advise you without obligation.
How accurate and reliable are the results?
The quality of the results heavily depends on the boundary conditions, the material data used, and the modeling. As an FEA service provider, we work with validated procedures, plausibilize the results, and compare them with standards (e.g., FKM, Eurocode) or measurement data. Trust in our experience – we deliver reliable results you can build on.
How do we support you beyond pure FEA simulation?
As an FEA service provider, we see ourselves as a technical partner: We identify optimization potential, help with weight reduction, material savings, or service life extension – and accompany you from the concept phase to series release. Benefit from well-founded analysis and practical recommendations.
Is an FEA service provider also useful for small series, prototypes, or individual parts?
Especially for limited quantities or safety-critical applications, FEA is particularly worthwhile – because it allows you to specifically avoid over-dimensioning and identify risks early. Whether startup or SME: As a flexible FEA service provider, we offer solutions that fit your project budget.
