What we do
FEA Services LLC is a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) consulting company from Charlotte, NC with satellite offices in Nashville, TN and Tucson, AZ. We are highly experienced in the field of Finite Element Analysis, system performance and real-time correlations while serving various industries such as Automotive, Heat Exchangers, Bio-Medical, Semiconductor, Aerospace and others for over 25 years. We excel in high-end nonlinear simulations and various other niche fields of expertise.
FEA Consulting
As specialists with several decades of experience using Abaqus, we competently offer a broad range of linear and nonlinear FEA simulations. These analysis solution types include yet are not limited to:
Nonlinear Structural and Thermal Analysis
– Nonlinear Materials
– Composite Materials
– Multi-Body Simulation
– Thermal-Structural Multiphysics
Structural Integrity
– Fatigue Assessment
– Fatigue Test Optimization
– Fracture Analysis
– Post-Failure Forensics
Design/Product Optimization
Dynamic Response
Impact/Crash or High Speed Simulation
Fluid-Structural Interaction

Abaqus FEA Training
We provide beginner’s, intermediate, and advanced Abaqus classes suitable to those both new to and already experienced with Abaqus. Most likely our classes will be at a lower price point than other options.
Don’t have Abaqus quite yet installed? No problem – our beginner’s class is well suited for the free-to-obtain learning edition.
Our methods are unique: Some theory is discussed, yet the emphasis is on hands-on demonstrations and practice using the software itself such that the user can immediately begin to create their own robust FEA models.
Our scheduling is also unique from other options in that there is no minimum number of students required to launch any scheduled class – thus, if you sign up – you are guaranteed to attend. We can potentially provide a training session sooner than scheduled for clients who request, and customized classes can be developed as well.
Fatigue Test Optimization
Our capabilities can be leveraged to drastically reduce your laboratory based testing time (i.e., capital) devoted to proving durability requirements for your development samples or your production runs.
We do this by drawing from our many years’ experience with durability engineering and material testing combined with analytic (FEA) methods using the latest in fatigue analysis research.

Why we are different
IMPECCABLE SERVICE
Everything we do at FEA Services stems from the vision that our client will be successful. With other options out there, we strive to differentiate ourselves by providing Impeccable Personal Service to meet your needs. More reasons to call FEA Services are provided from our customers on our testimonials page.
FEA Services LLC originated in 2000 as “FE Professionals of Charlotte,” where we consulted with NASCAR teams to develop fully 3D Finite Element chassis models which led to improving durability and rigidity of engine components. We consulted with NASCAR officials following the 2001 Daytona 500 regarding chassis modeling techniques and requirements for crash analysis.
Since then, we have worked with companies having expertise across a wide variety of applications from Automotive to Aerospace to a host of other diverse industries. Call us at +1 (704) 594-1113 for a free initial exploratory consultation.
NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL FEA FOCUS
We focus on our core strengths – nonlinear FEA simulations and fatigue analysis using Abaqus. For the past two decades, we have perfected the use of the Abaqus solvers for high-end nonlinear structural models for the main purposes of design optimization and extended durability.
UNIQUE TRAINING METHODS
Given our expertise using Abaqus and Abaqus/CAE – and after having taught a great many Abaqus classes to individuals on different levels of expertise, we have derived optimal ways of teaching Abaqus and Abaqus./CAE. Our training methods are unique in that although some theory is discussed, the emphasis during the class is on hands-on demonstrations and practice using the software itself. The user should then begin to create their own robust FEA models using Abaqus/CAE. See our training schedule to enroll in a class.
Latest News
2024 – OCTOBER
FEA Services LLC is continuing to provide expert-level online Abaqus training classes for any interested engineers.
These classes will be shorter and “to the point” in comparison to typical OEM classes found elsewhere, and are intended to teach the utilization of Abaqus and Abaqus/CAE to:
- Individuals who are new to Abaqus, or
- Those who would like to brush up on their basic Abaqus skills, or
- Experienced users looking for guidance on a specific topic within Abaqus
Call us at +1 (704) 594-1113 for more information about our training, or to enroll in a class.

ABAQUS FEA PRODUCT SUITE
We use the Abaqus FEA product suite which consists of three core products: Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/CAE (the pre and post processor GUI).
Abaqus/Standard provides analysis technology to solve traditional implicit finite element analysis, including static, dynamic and thermal analyses, yet powered with the widest range of contact and other nonlinear options since the base code was originally written with nonlinear equations at the foundation.
Abaqus/Explicit provides Abaqus analysis technology focused on transient dynamics and quasi-static analysis using an explicit time integration, which is appropriate in many applications, such as drop tests, crushing, manufacturing processes or progressive failure simulation. Both Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit can integrate with third party software or incorporate user subroutines for nearly limitless possibilities to simulate reality.
Abaqus/CAE provides a complete modeling and visualization environment for Abaqus analysis products. With access to CAD models, advanced meshing and visualization and the direct link Abaqus workflows, Abaqus/CAE provides an elegantly simple modeling environment for even complex simulations.
