Finite Element Analysis

Occasionally, during the design process we encounter geometry that is difficult to analyze with classical formulations. When this occurs, we employ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to gain a better understanding of the states of stress, transmitted loads, or resultant deflections. Tejas has analysis capabilities with static, dynamic, linear, non-linear, transient, and temperature dependent numerical solutions.


FEA is an engineering tool that takes either an area or volume of a component and divides it into a smaller number of “finite” elements for analysis. Boundary conditions including stress, force, pressure, temperature, contact, deflections, etc. are applied to the model and a simulation is run to predict how the part(s) will be behave in the real world. Obviously, assumptions and experience play a critical role in the validity of the solutions. Designing and running simulations is as much an art as it is a science. At Tejas, we have engineers who are experienced in using FEA as an integral part of the design process. We have traversed the learning curve and can use FEA to the best effect on your project.
