FEA Studies

Prairie Engineering takes full advantage of today's leading FEA packages; HyperWorks/Optistruct and Pro/Mechanica and Abacus Explicit to properly setup and analyze complex problems.

FEA can be used to check for potential problems before a product is manufactured or it can be used to analyze existing products that have failed. We conduct load predictions, stress analyses and life predictions for:

• Transmission gears

• Transmission shafts

• Tractor axle shafts

• Tractor axle frames

• Tractor frames

• Cab frames - Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)

• Harvest machine frames

• Skid steer loader frames

• Agricultural implement frames

• Loader and backhoe booms

• Ground working tools for cultivators, chisel plows, disc harrows and planters
