Project Brief
This case study demonstrates the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) conducted for the Underground Facility Management Building’s to evaluate its structural behavior under self-weight and different loading on the top and vertical panels. This analysis aimed to estimate stress and deformation to ensure structural integrity.

METHODOLOGY (SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED)
1.Modeling: Utilized 3D CAD File to create a Simplified Geometry for FEA.
2.Boundary Conditions: Applied loads on the top and vertical panels in combination with the Self weight of the structure.
3.Load Cases: Analyzed various load cases to simulate real-world scenarios.
4.Post-Processing: Evaluated stress and deformation to observe the behavior of the structure under different loading conditions.
BENEFITS (RESULTS ACHIEVED)
1.Identified areas of potential stress concentration and deformation.
2.Provided insights for structural modifications or reinforcements if necessary.
