Webinar: Overview of finite element analysis for applied research, engineering and art applications
April 29, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 4:45 pm
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a well-established technology in 2020.
There is a plethora of software on the market. They range from the basic, mid-range to high end in their capabilities to simulate real life physics. This is often overlooked by the general public and non-users of FEA.
HERA recognised the need to implement advanced simulations in applied research and consulting in the late nineties.
This webinar delves into this capability. Explaining what is involved in carrying out success simulations – by providing an overview of solving structural, mechanical, fire engineering and thermal problems.
We’ll also be sharing a number of case studies showcasing our in-house experience built up over the past two decades – and how it can be applied to existing and new projects to assess and refine designs at the initial concept stage to get the best from your structure before large expense is committed.
This session is best suited for:
- Engineers who are looking for reducing uncertainty in complicated engineering projects
- Manufacturers
- Researchers/students who are using ABAQUS for research projects
- Artists who are seeking to learn how an engineering software can help them to draw their dream to reality
- Anyone seeking to learn about FEA
What to expect:
- Learn capability of FEA to solve complicated problems in various fields
- High level overview of carrying out successful FEA
- HERA capabilities shown through practical example

I’m a structural engineer specialising in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using general purpose Abaqus software for realistic simulations. With over 25 years’ experience in the industry, I’ve worked in project management, education and vibration analysis roles in Europe and now in New Zealand – and have had the opportunity to present this expertise both locally and abroad.
I’ve worked on many challenging structural and mechanical engineering simulations, and generally deal with steel-concrete-foam composite structures analysed under a variety of loading conditions using implicit and explicit codes. Solving static, quasi-static and dynamic engineering problems in the design development and experimental testing leads to delivering smarter solutions.
I’ve worked on various research studies and consultancy projects for our members and clients – more recently delivering sequentially coupled thermal-stress analyses to investigate the fire behaviour of composite slabs and columns.
