FEA Analysis Services in Saudi Arabia
Rigorous finite element analysis for structural integrity, pressure vessels, nozzle loads, and thermal studies — supporting design validation and fitness-for-service assessments in KSA.
SLETEC Engineering provides professional finite element analysis (FEA) services for industrial equipment, pressure vessels, structural components, and mechanical assemblies across Saudi Arabia. Our FEA team uses ANSYS Mechanical and SolidWorks Simulation to perform detailed stress, deformation, fatigue, and thermal analyses that validate designs against applicable codes and project-specific load requirements.
Our FEA scope encompasses linear static analysis for routine design verification, nonlinear analysis for large deformation and contact-critical components, thermomechanical analysis for high-temperature equipment, and fatigue analysis for cyclically loaded structures. For pressure vessels and process equipment, we perform nozzle load analysis in accordance with WRC 107 and WRC 297, and carry out code-based stress linearisation as required by ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 2.
SLETEC also supports fitness-for-service evaluations using FEA for existing plant equipment with identified defects, corrosion, or modified operating conditions. Each FEA project is delivered with a comprehensive technical report including model description, boundary conditions, material properties, load cases, results plots, and a clear pass/fail assessment referenced to the applicable standard.
Engineering documentation prepared with reference to API, ASME, AISC, AWS, ISO, Saudi Aramco, SABIC and client project specifications where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of FEA analysis does SLETEC perform in Saudi Arabia?
SLETEC performs linear static structural analysis, nonlinear analysis (large deformation, contact, material plasticity), thermal and thermomechanical analysis, fatigue and fracture mechanics studies, pressure vessel nozzle load analysis, and seismic analysis for industrial equipment and structures across Saudi Arabia.
Which standards does SLETEC follow for FEA pressure vessel analysis?
Pressure vessel FEA is performed with reference to ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 2 (design-by-analysis), WRC 107, WRC 297 for nozzle load evaluation, and EN 13445 where applicable. Analysis reports follow the requirements of the applicable code and include detailed stress linearisation results.
How long does an FEA analysis project take with SLETEC?
A standard linear static FEA report for a single component or nozzle load case typically takes 3-7 business days, depending on model complexity and number of load cases. Complex nonlinear or multi-physics studies are scoped individually with agreed timelines before work commences.
Can SLETEC provide FEA analysis for existing plant equipment in KSA?
Yes. SLETEC performs fitness-for-service FEA studies on existing plant equipment, including analysis of corroded areas, weld defects, and nozzle reinforcement adequacy. These studies support fitness-for-service assessments per API 579-1/ASME FFS-1.
