Finite Element Analysis
We provide comprehensive FEA facilities for all materials, featuring plate and shell elements, auto-meshing, and regular updates for complex models. Our specialised geotechnical modules model soil as springs, evaluating stiffness from properties and borehole logs, enabling advanced foundation analysis. Our FEA options encompass linear and non-linear analysis (material and geometrical), including full plastic analysis, for cost-effective steel and concrete design solutions.
Structural analysis
Our software equips design engineers with advanced tools for structural calculations in diverse building materials. Specialising in steel and reinforced concrete, our calculations stem from a shared BIM model, minimising errors and duplication. Seamlessly integrating with popular BIM platforms like Allplan, Revit, and TEKLA, our software offers non-linear analysis and geotechnical behaviour modeling for complex foundations. Complemented by TEDDS from CSC, our elemental design programs enhance accuracy. The calculations are conveniently provided in PDF format for easy distribution to clients.
Specialist flat slab FEA design
Solve specialises in flat slab design, utilising advanced software like SCIA Engineer and TEKLA Structural Designer. Through value engineering exercises, we've achieved significant material and cost savings for contractors. Our software analyses stresses in Finite Element Analysis output, optimising reinforcement placement for cost-effectiveness. We provide flexible options for RC detail drawings, including loose placed reinforcement bars, carpet reinforcement, or special mesh solutions, tailored to contractor preferences.
