Finite Element
Analysis

Simply put, finite element analysis is like Lego, where the individual bricks are deceivingly simple, but if put together only your imagination and skill limit what you can achieve.

This is the beauty of finite element analysis; however complex the geometry and physical problem you want to portray is, you only need a small selection of simple, well-defined mathematical building blocks, called elements, to do it!

FEMKUBER possesses state-of-the-art engineering software for numerical simulations of a multitude of physics problems, as well as the experience and skill needed to do it right and to yield safe and trustworthy results.

Structural
Calculations

Once the virtual finite element model of the component or structure is created and the materials are defined – be it metals, plastics, rubbers or composites – it is ready to be loaded with forces, pressures, displacements, rotations, temperatures, velocities, accelerations or any combination of the above.

After the numerical computer simulation is completed, it is time to investigate the results: Is the structure strong enough? What is the life expectancy? How does it deform? Is the calculated response acceptable and within national or international code requirements? The possibilities are endless.

Our engineers at FEMKUBER are expert analysts, and have years of experience performing diverse structural calculations and code verifications within a wide range of industries.

Virtual
Testing

One of the most important benefits of performing finite element analyses (FEA) is the reduction of highly expensive and time consuming physical testing.

The accuracy and trustworthiness of numerical simulations are today at a level enabling physical tests to even be fully omitted.

With FEA, you get immediate feedback on design changes and great insight to structural behaviour, enabling an economical and streamlined design development.

This is why FEMKUBER prefers to be involved early in the design process. Why waste time with small incremental design changes and multiple physical tests when we can deliver a fully verified design faster than you can say 'physical tests'?

Design
Optimisation

When we have established a virtual physics model of your product, it is obvious that there lies great potential in using this model to optimise the design.

In the virtual world there are no limits to which loading scenarios you can check and which design parameters you can change. Blazingly fast compared to the real world.

Since FEMKUBER’s knowledge of the structural behaviour of your product is potentially limitless, we can optimise your design in ways impossible if relying on physical testing only; saving weight, reducing material cost, improving functionality and strengthening your company's competitive advantage.

 

Reliability is the key to the abyss

Endurance and reliability is of paramount importance in the subsea industry. Due to extreme pressures and temperatures, a highly corrosive environment, seismic activity and inaccessability in addition to human, economic and environmental risks, the engineering quality of subsea structures must be impeccable.

We have extensive experience in the subsea industry, performing simulations and aiding the design of subsea structures and components like spools/jumpers, pipelines, pressure vessels, fittings, in-line Tees and Wyes, PLEMs, PLETs and manifolds. 

 
 

Designing for harsh environments

In many cases offshore structures involve human presence and interaction in a harsh and hostile environment. Here too, the focus on detail in functionality and quality is of utmost importance.

Femkuber has been involved in an large number of marine operations and holds long experience in structural and mechanical design and analyses of load carrying structures. Typical components Femkuber has been responsible for are lifting equipment, sea-fastening, deck and hull structures.
