Professional FEA Simulation and Analysis Structural Engineer

Job ID: 37046966

Budget: $25 – $50 USD

Seeking Professional FEA Simulation and Analysis Structural Engineer
Seeking Professional FEA Simulation Structural Engineer to analyze and document the structural characteristics and performance of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) / Sandwich Panels attached to Light Gauge Steel Framing.

The objective of the FEA Simulation and Analysis is:
1) To determine the Design Pressure and Wind Load Specifications of the SIPS and Light Gauge Steel Wall Assembly.
2) Optimize the specifications of the center foam core to achieve the highest Design Pressure and Wind Load Specifications of the SIPS and Light Gauge Steel Wall Assembly.

Our company will provide the design, the material specifications, connection hardware, dimensions and drawings of the various Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) / Sandwich Panels and Light Gauge Steel Framing that are required to be analyzed and tested in the FEA Simulation Software.
