1) Simulation with Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as a numerical method is used in engineering applications to simulate the behavior of structures or systems under various loading and conditions.
It is widely employed across different fields like mechanical, civil, aerospace, and biomedical engineering, among others. Manmont utilizes FEA extensively in the design and analysis of pressure and non-pressure containing parts in various components of equipment across different industries, including but not limited to, Oil, Gas, Petrochemical & Energy sectors.
Manmont engineers with more than 15 years solid experience and background in the related field can do FEA for the following equipment as a whole or their related components:
I) Pressure Vessels
FEA helps in assessing the structural integrity and safety of several components and parts of pressure vessels under different operating conditions, including internal pressure, thermal effects, and external loads (including wind and seismic loads). It aids in optimizing the design by evaluating stress distributions, deformation, fatigue life, and potential failure modes.
II) Heat Exchangers
FEA is used to simulate the behavior of heat exchanger components, such as tubes, shells, expansion joints, and tubesheets, under various thermal and pressure loadings. It assists in optimizing the design to ensure structural integrity and heat transfer efficiency.
III) Piping Systems
FEA can analyze piping systems subjected to internal pressure, thermal expansion, seismic and wind loads, and other forces. It helps engineers determine stress concentrations, potential failure points, and the effects of different support configurations.
IV) Cast Tubesheets in Fired Heaters & Furnaces
By employing FEA in the design and analysis of cast tubesheets in fired heaters, engineers can make informed decisions regarding material selection, geometry, and operational parameters

Simulation with CFD Analysis
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is extensively used in various engineering applications such as aerospace, automotive, energy and more. It provides insights into fluid behavior, optimizing designs, and predicting performance without the need for expensive physical prototypes, saving time and resources in the design process.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) finds widespread applications across various engineering disciplines due to its ability to simulate and analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, combustion and related phenomena.
While numerous commercial CFD codes exist today, enabling engineers with basic engineering knowledge to conduct various analyses, achieving accurate and reliable simulations, along with the comprehensive interpretation of results, demands years of practice and experience in the specific field.
