Finite Element Analysis

The following are the latest finite element analysis projects that have been completed.   The analysis includes the dynamic response of a planing hull at speeds up to 54 knots.  The next application is a modal analysis and alignment procedure for a 54m patrol boat and the last application is a pedestal crane foundation on a 31m Fireboat.
