When Global FEA Is Not Enough for Wind Turbine Support Structures

When Global FEA Is Not Enough for Wind Turbine Support Structures

A global FEA model may satisfy global checks, but that does not always prove local fatigue-sensitive details are adequately verified. …

How to Apply Wind Loads to Crane Structures in FEA Using EN 13001 and F.E.M. 1.001

How to Apply Wind Loads to Crane Structures in FEA Using EN 13001 and F.E.M. 1.001

In crane and lifting-structure analysis, wind is not a single horizontal force applied uniformly across the model. The resulting wind…

Shipyard Crane Fatigue Analysis with FEA and SDC Verifier

Shipyard Crane Fatigue Analysis with FEA and SDC Verifier

Shipyard cranes operate under heavy loads, repeated lifting cycles, and aggressive marine conditions. That makes fatigue one of the main…
