Seismic qualification via FEM
Calculating the strength of mechanical structures under seismic loads
The security and serviceability of plants and assemblies in earthquake-prone areas requires proof of stability, integrity and reliability of devices and components under earthquake-specific loads.
Benefits of calculated analyses
- Valuable input at an early stage in the design phase
- Component optimisation
- Complete strength evaluation or calculated evaluation as supplement to the acceptance test
- Cost-efficient comparison of the impact of different response spectrums
- Early strength evaluation for new products by applying updated FE model properties from previous projects
