 |  | The technical development in the field of computer technology is running fast – very fast – and the programs for finite element analysis, that were introduced in the middle of the 1960’ies has today developed into highly advanced programs needing a special competence to fully utilize.
ISC has used finite element (FEM) programs for analysis since the middle of the 1970’ties and has consequently generated the necessary expertise in the field of advanced FEM modeling and analysis.
The scope of application is comprehensive – from general use in traditional design calculations for building structures to advanced application for dynamic analysis, mechanical design, high pressure installations – just to mention a few.
The range of the assignments is large – measured in size as well as in technical variation, application and materials.
Some examples may illustrate this:
- Substructure for transformer platform.
- Offshore jacket joint.
- Flue gas ducts.
- Foundations for large diesel engines.
- Motor frames for intercity trains.
- Motor frames for automobiles.
- Cable structures for glass facades.
- Heat transmission analysis.
- Fatigue analysis.
- And much, much more.
The development will continue at unreduced pace and advanced analysis will be applied on still more fields in the continuous aspiration for more slender, more sophisticated structures, more efficient production methods, better utilization of materials and energy and improved prediction of design life – all together in co-operation with technical specialists within the individual subject areas and – not least – our skilled architects.
