Case Study: Regional Solar Energy Leader achieves thermal and structural FEA analysis in 30 days with Flatworld Solutions

Flatworld Provided FEA Services for Solar Energy Solutions for US Renewable Energy Giant

Regional Solar Energy Leader, a U.S.-based renewable energy company serving energy efficiency, solar power, and fluid delivery markets, needed finite element analysis support for solar panel pole mount systems. The challenge was to assess how prefabricated steel structures would perform under varying wind forces and temperature fluctuations across different geographic locations. Flatworld Solutions provided the FEA services using tools such as HyperMesh and OptiStruct.

Flatworld Solutions assembled a team of three mechanical engineers, an account manager, and a quality analyst to complete multiple thermal and structural FEA evaluations across 10 wind and temperature variations and six product groups. The analysis was completed and delivered in 30 days, helping the customer quickly validate product performance and avoid the cost and time of hiring additional in-house staff.
