Why Choose Firehole Technologies for your Structural Analysis Needs?
Through innovative, advanced technology and experience in composite
structures, Firehole Technologies provides accurate and in-depth analysis
for some of the most challenging structural problems. Some of the advantages that
analysts at Firehole Technologies provide include:
We Know Composites: We understand composite
materials; what makes them special and what makes them difficult. Our analysts know
the right questions to ask in the beginning of a project to save time and money
down the road. We also can help with material selection, answering the question
— "Which material is right for this structure?"
Progressive Failure Modeling: Current commercially
available FEA software claims to have progressive failure of composite structures
capabilities, but the experience of Firehole analysts is that these capabilities
are difficult to use and rarely provide useful or accurate results. Analysts
at Firehole have used Helius:MCT™ to provide composite structure failure predictions
to the Air Force, Navy, and commercial aerospace industry customers that are unsurpassed
in accuracy and simply would not be possible using any other FEA software. The accuracy
of Firehole’s composite structure analysis and the widespread shortcomings of many
commercial products have lead institutions such as NASA and many aerospace companies
to seek out Firehole’s expertise.
Material Non-linearity: Engineers and analysts
who deal with composites are inherently familiar with the non-linear behavior of
composite materials. At Firehole, not only can we handle this behavior,
but can do so with standard test data, eliminating the expensive and exotic
tests often required.
Custom Software Development: Firehole has
years of experience building customized structural analysis software for the US
Department of Defense. With the powerful combination of both structural analysts
and application developers on staff, we have the capability to tailor our applications
to solve your specific structural analysis needs.
Firehole is your choice for the design and analysis of numerous composite structures
for a diverse set of industries:
- Aerospace: Deployable and Satellite Structures,
Fuel Tanks, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Aircraft and Launch Vehicle
Components
- Alternative energy: Wind Turbine Blades,
Pressure Vessels
- Automotive: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tanks
- Oil and Gas: Composites Pipeline Overwraps
- Leisure: Golf Clubs, Tennis Racquets, Hockey
Sticks
