Our services in the field of calculations and simulations
- Planning of steel structures for machines, systems, vehicles and bridges
- Defining the load cases to be proofed on the basis of functions and hazard analyzes
- Determination of the internal forces and documentation of all required proofs (structural and stability safety, static equilibrium, serviceability, service life), even according to higher-order theories
- Dynamic analyzes of supporting structures to prevent inadmissible vibrations, proof of earthquake safety
- Calculation of the remaining service life of supporting structures and components taking into account the load history with calculated or measured and classificated stress ranges
- Solving special calculation problems using the finite element method (stresses in non-rod-shaped components, at notch or load introduction points, buckling tests for plate and shell structures, stresses due to temperature fields)
- Determination of the characteristics of drives of all kinds (hoists, slewing and running gears, rope drives, transfer drives)
- Dimensioning of the drive elements (e.g. gears, shafts, axles, brakes, drums)
- Dynamic analysis of drive systems to determine the impact load in non-stationary processes
- Vibration simulations
- Verification according to KTA 3902 for hoists used in nuclear installations and their components
- Erection and dismantling technologies for large equipment and steel structures including blast technologies
