Detailed Hand Analysis

It is true to say that the greatest strength of any self-proclaimed Stress Analyst is his or her ability to apply the fundamentals in solving or at least gaining a very clear picture as to how that structure performs. Without this fundamental ability, an analyst is a dangerous commodity. At IDEA International, we pay great attention to this basic skill and consider it our primary tool in the world of Structural Analysis.

Finite Element Modeling and Analysis

We take great pride in knowing that we can offer some of the best Finite Element Analysis money can buy. With over 100 years of combined Finite Element experience IDEA is able to tackle some of the most complex of structural idealizations. Furthermore, IDEA is very familiar with metallic and non-metallic idealizations and modelings and is more than capable of conducting all major types of solutions such as linear, non-linear, dynamic, thermal, and others.

Technical Advice and Recommendations

With IDEA's tremendous experience in many specialist areas, including metallic structure, composite structures, vibration analysis, and thermal analysis, we can offer excellent advice from initial project start-up right through to completion.

Certification and DER Support

We can support the issuance of 8100's / 8110's against most structural related items such as Structural Repair Approval, Non-Structural Repair Approval, and Primary and Secondary Structural Modifications. We can offer test witnessing, test planning, and test report generation along with the ability to support most test programs with our immense in-house experience.
