Ducting Structural Analysis with FEA

Finite Element Analysis

This project involved performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on HVAC ducting to evaluate its structural integrity under operational loads, including internal air pressure, thermal expansion, and support reactions. The study included a detailed assessment of duct supports, hangers, and joints to identify stress concentrations, deflection patterns, and vibration risks, ensuring the system meets safety, performance, and compliance standards.

Why FEA for Ducting Structural Analysis?

Conducting FEA for HVAC ducting ensures early detection of structural issues in supports and joints, avoiding costly rework, downtime, and safety incidents. Compared to trial-and-error or rule-of-thumb methods, simulation delivers faster, more accurate results, enabling efficient design approval and reducing project risk.
