At DOCAN Ltd Engineering Consultants, we have been delivering complex stress analysis services since day one – from traditional hand calculations through to advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
What sets us apart is our ability to perform highly realistic and technically demanding analyses, all delivered from our offices near Manchester, UK. Our Structural Mechanics team is deeply experienced in what is often described as the “black art” of FEA.
We routinely undertake:
- Linear elastic analysis
- Highly non-linear simulations
- Static assessments
- Dynamic and vibration studies
A Rigorous and Defensible Approach
Every project is delivered under a strict quality assurance framework that includes verification, check procedures, and formal approvals. This ensures our analysis is robust, traceable, and defensible, giving clients confidence in both the method and the outcome.
Our team works with industry-leading software platforms, including:
- ABAQUS
- ANSYS
- NASTRAN
- MARC
This capability allows us to tailor the analysis approach to the specific engineering challenge, ensuring the most appropriate solver and modelling strategy is used.
