Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Consulting Services
Demand for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) consulting engineers and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) services has grown rapidly as engineering tools and computing power continue to advance. Today’s simulation technologies allow companies to more accurately predict how products will behave under real-world physical conditions—long before anything is built.
Originally rooted in aerospace, FEA is now widely used across industries including electronics, automotive, industrial machinery, medical devices, and consumer products. By enabling virtual testing and digital prototyping, FEA gives engineering teams the freedom to explore more design options, identify risks earlier, and troubleshoot performance issues without the cost and time required for physical prototypes.
Saratech’s FEA consulting services help manufacturers take a critical step in product development: performance validation before tooling and manufacturing decisions are made. Our experienced FEA engineers develop robust simulation models and translate complex results into clear, actionable insights—helping customers reduce cost, mitigate risk, and accelerate time to market.
Make Smarter Decisions with Saratech’s FEA Consulting Services
FEA Services Designed Around Your Engineering Needs
Saratech provides expert FEA consulting services tailored to your product, development stage, and performance requirements. From early design feasibility to detailed validation, our engineers develop and execute simulations that accurately predict structural, thermal, and dynamic performance. While our focus is FEA, we also leverage CAE and CFD tools when needed to provide a complete picture of product behavior. By working closely with your engineering team, we ensure models are appropriately scoped, assumptions are realistic, and results are translated into actionable recommendations—helping you make confident, data-driven decisions and reduce risk before committing to physical testing or manufacturing.
The Value of FEA Consulting With Saratech
FEA delivers the most value when it provides actionable insights that drive better engineering and business decisions. Saratech’s experienced consultants use simulation to reduce the need for costly physical prototypes, lower development risk, and improve product performance.

Saratech’s FEA Capabilities
Structural Analysis
Structural Analysis tests the stress placed on a component and evaluates the potential for deformation or fracture under varying operational conditions. This allows designers and engineers to determine the safety of the component when withstanding forces acting against it.
Multibody Dynamics
Multibody dynamics predicts motions and displacement by calculating loads on various parts of a system. This helps determine what would happen if a part works to potentially break or if a mechanism will work as originally designed.
Dynamic and Vibrational Analysis
Dynamic and vibrational analysis determines the shape of structures at different resonant frequencies by computing the resonant frequencies of a structure. This helps product engineers better predict the behavior of a system, allowing product engineers to go beyond traditional static analysis.
Thermal Analysis
Thermal Analysis helps product engineers who need to reduce the risk of failure to thermal stress. Thermal analysis provides an understanding of heat loads and temperature destruction by using the transfer of heat in a component through convection, conduction and radiation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of analysis can be performed using FEA?
FEA can simulate a wide range of conditions, including structural stress and strain, thermal performance, vibration and dynamic behavior, fatigue and fracture, and material-specific responses. At Saratech, we also integrate CAE tools and, when needed, CFD simulations to provide a complete view of product performance.
How long does an FEA project take?
Project timelines depend on factors such as design complexity, analysis type, and development stage. Saratech works closely with each customer to define the project scope, prioritize key engineering questions, and establish a schedule that ensures timely delivery of actionable results without compromising quality.
Can FEA be used on legacy designs?
Yes. FEA is highly effective for evaluating existing or legacy products. Saratech engineers can develop simulation models from available geometry and data to identify potential weaknesses, assess performance under new operating conditions, or support redesigns—without requiring a complete rebuild from scratch.
How accurate are FEA results?
FEA accuracy depends on model fidelity, material data, and boundary conditions. Saratech’s experienced engineers ensure simulations use the right assumptions, validated inputs, and appropriate modeling techniques to produce reliable, actionable insights for design and manufacturing decisions.
What data or inputs are needed to start an FEA project?
Typical inputs include 3D CAD geometry, material properties, boundary and load conditions, and any relevant operational requirements. Saratech works with your team to ensure the necessary information is captured and any assumptions are validated for accurate, actionable results.
Can FEA help optimize my product for performance and cost?
Absolutely. FEA allows engineers to explore multiple design options virtually, identify stress concentrations, reduce over-engineering, and optimize material usage. Saratech leverages these insights to help customers improve performance while minimizing development cost and risk.
