Structural Analysis

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

From airframe-level global loads models to intricate component-level breakout analyses, we’ve done it all. Our team has nearly two decades of advanced simulation experience, including:

• Linear and nonlinear analyses

• Static and dynamic simulations

• Contact and large deformation modeling

• Metallic and composite material behavior

• Optimization and sensitivity studies

We are expert users of Femap, NASTRAN, and ADINA with a deep understanding of model setup, automation, and post-processing. Benny Aero is also proud to include a certified NAFEMS Advanced Level Professional Simulation Engineer — one of the few in the U.S.

Let us help bring clarity and confidence to your analysis needs.

Fatigue and Damage Tolerance

Don’t wait until fatigue becomes a problem. Integrating fatigue and damage tolerance (F&DT) considerations early in the design process can significantly reduce downstream costs, mitigate risk, and streamline FAA certification. At Benny Aero, we help you build durability and safety into your structure from day one.

Already working with a mature design? No problem. We’ve worked with global experts to support legacy aircraft programs and know what it takes to implement fatigue solutions in-service. Whether you're starting fresh or solving existing challenges, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Our F&DT capabilities include:

• Fatigue and damage tolerance load spectrum development

• Stress-life (S-N) and strain-life (ε-N) model development

• Crack growth and fracture mechanics analysis

• Inspection threshold and interval determination

• Safe-life and fail-safe assessments for certification compliance
