Preliminary Numerical Analysis of a Platform Structure

Finite element analysis (FEA) has become an increasingly important tool in evaluating structural performance of platforms. This includes the use of this tool to perform strength, stability checks, optimisation of structural design upon subjected to design loads as well as to perform failure investig...
