Engineering

Supported by extensive 2D and 3D CAD systems including AutoCAD release 14, Autoplant and Pro-Engineer

   

Finite Element Stress Analysis

Motherwell Bridge Engineering offers Finite Element Stress Analysis using the Display III and NISA II suite of programmes. Modelling of shell, plate and beam type structures is available through the interactive graphic capability or, alternatively, from an Autocad generated drawing. This combined with the experience of the company’s engineers makes it faster. In the assessment of the remaining life of a vessel or other structure, finite element may be utilised to probe in detail the prevailing conditions. In conjunction with Fracture Mechanics this can then be used to access fitness for purpose.
