FEM calculations
Carrying out the calculation process based on FEM for the following issues:
- linearly elastic;
- nonlinear;
- dynamic;
- temporary;
- frequency response;
- modal analysis;
- and other.
Software available:
- Ansys Workbench 2021R1
- Siemens FEMAP 2020.1
- MSC Digimat
It is possible to commercially use the calculation results based on the software:
Siemens Simcenter FEMAP 2020.1

Elaboration of the results
Preparation of results according to individual arrangements for each research process carried out.
- graphical elaboration of the results;
- preparing a report;
- additional computational operations on the obtained results of FEM analyzes;
- statistical processing of the obtainned results
The components of strain and stress tensors in selected nodes of the model (or in each node) can be taken from the computational model and developed with the use of software, e.g.
- Mathworks MatLAB
- Scilab
