3D modelling analysis for structures across Cambridge

Utilising the power of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and drawing software to design and detail structures with extreme efficiency. See your ideas brought to life digitally with Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd – contact our teams today.

Using the latest in structural design software

By using advanced software including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and RFEM, a software by Dlubal, within our models, we’re able to obtain the crucial detail that makes all the difference for your development. Going beyond the design, we can analyse how individual components behave under load, predicting the movement of materials, and identifying potential stress points quickly. The very latest versions of Revit and AutoCAD (both produced by Autodesk) are also used on projects where it is appropriate to do so. 

 

For Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd it’s not just about avoiding structural failures. It’s about using modern technologies to optimise designs to promote cost-effectiveness for you without compromising on safety or robustness for the end user. We help our clients make informed decisions, backed by data and simulations, and you could be next to see the positive impact this can have on new developments and building enhancements.

3D modelling – the ultimate diagnostic tool  

By putting innovative technologies to use during the planning and preparation phases, we’re able to look beyond the surface of the design to explore feasibility and suitability before construction begins. Seismic analysis, vibration checks, and wind loading simulations are all part of this toolkit, and whilst each might sound a bit niche, they’re critical in understanding how external forces may impact the building or structure in the long run. The value of 3D analysis lies in its ability to factor in these variables, giving us a much clearer picture of how the structure will fair in the real world. 

Taking a collaborative approach to structural design

We find that we can work with most file types that construction colleagues use, and this cross collaboration creates an efficient, connected design process for all parties involved. Whilst it might seem like a minor consideration, Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd believes all specialists have something they can bring to the table, and we facilitate the tools to do so. To stay ahead of the game, all software is fully maintained and updated regularly, allowing us to continue providing cutting-edge design capabilities.

Words from the wise

Ryan supported us with some issues and concerns we had with a retaining wall that looked like it was starting to fail. Very helpful. Happy to answer any of my questions. Gave us advice on things we can do to monitor for any further movement. Put my mind at ease!
