EXPLOSION ENGINEERING

Explosion hazard safety engineering

Our team in IDF uses a sophisticated approach to estimate explosion effects. We rely on the FLACS® commercial code from Gexcon AS, which is an international standard for analysing explosion scenarios in confined or congested environments.

Structural analysis and preliminary design for explosion loads

 

Additionally, IDF offer structural analysis and preliminary design services to ensure structures can withstand blast loads. Our advanced Finite Element analysis uses either Abaqus-Explicit® (Dassault Systems) or LS-Dyna® (Ansys Inc.).
