INDUSTRY INSIGHTS NEWSLETTER

Welcome to Equity's Industry Insights Newsletter
Finite element analysis (FEA) is the gold standard for fitness-for-service evaluations. Unfortunately, FEA can be time-consuming, cost prohibitive, resource intensive, or inaccessible, especially for large, complex systems. This month, Industry Insights introduces the new FEA Suite of webtools from Equity Research that handle the general complexities of FEA while also automating workflows and tapping into distributed computing.
