Fatigue Simulation
Fatigue Simulation is at the heart of what our team of FEA consultants does at our Singapore FEA consultancy office in BroadTech Engineering. BroadTech surveyed Almost over 160 manufacturers and FEA Consulting Companies about their FEM simulation Actions. The End results were Tabulated and analyzed to identify Out the top Most Confrontations Commonly associated with FEA preprocessing, preparing for the solver, and postprocessing.
FEA Structural Analysis Enables Finite Element Consulting engineers to effectively simulate the Operational characteristics of their designs Virtually, well in advance of Physical prototype tooling Fabrication. Unlimited Company dollars can be Conserved by identifying Engineering design Challenges Way before entering into the Actual Fabrication process. They also now have the Additional capability of Total product data management.
With the Full integration of CAE, finite element analysis (FEA) can be Cost-Effectively during the Product Development process, closing the Post Engineering design-analysis Discrepancy, minimizing Excessive Number of Engineering design iterations, and Practically eliminating the Requirements for Costly physical prototyping Fabrication and Experimental testing.
Examine the Value of FEA Fatigue Simulation Analysis
When Bringing In the 3D model into CAE Nonlinear FEA Software, some CAD geometry Might not translate Exactly; this can Create Extreme problems with the FEA Structural analysis. Finding these problems Zones Takes a lot of time, and was rated by 44% as a top Confrontation. In some cases, the geometry cannot be fixed and must be Regenerated which Doubles efforts and wastes Precious time.
FEA Finite Element Analysis Simulation represents one product development investment that can support the Objectives Presented in Advanced Dynamic FEA Simulation tools provide insight into product strength and quality as well as cost drivers such as the amount of material needed. They can help Discover problems early when it is more cost-effective to fix them. They also allow efficient Assessment of Various design options to support innovation. In fact, BroadTech Engineering’s study, The Business Value of Simulation Finds, FEA Pipe Stress Analysis Simulation allows FEA Structural Consulting Services Enterprises to meet the demands for lower cost and faster time to market, but without compromising product quality.

FEA Simulation of Steel Culvert Bridge
In one smaller project, Our FEA Consultant tried to model the behavior of a short-span steel culvert bridge, approx. 4m. This kind of bridge is constructed with a very thin layer of steel buried in the soil. Thanks to the interaction between soil and steel, it can transfer significant load while providing attractive economic solutions, largest spans for this kind of structure can reach up to 20m. A crucial part of this kind of structure is soil thickness above the steel structure so the arch effect can be observed in soil.
- The project was done with Abaqus using 3D soil elements and 2D shell elements
- Sheets of corrugated steel were modeled as flat shell elements.
- The behavior of soil under large load was studied to understand the Drucker-Prager yield criterion
- Interaction between soil and steel was modeled
- Influence of soil thickness was investigated to estimate thickness were soil arch effect stops being beneficial
