Expertise
Since its founding in 1978, ANATECH has provided exceptional engineering solutions for the development and application of state-of-the-art structural and thermal-analysis methods, which predict the actual behavior of complex, nonlinear systems across a broad set of applications. These applications include seismically vulnerable civil and nuclear structures, nuclear fuel rods and assemblies, composites, polymers, soils, rock, biomedical devices, and storage and transportation casks for radioactive and hazardous material.
ANATECH is widely regarded as the foremost authority in nonlinear, predictive analysis of complex structures subjected to loading beyond their design basis. Our many successes validate our motto of “Linking Theory to Practice.” One of the common threads that link ANATECH’s diverse business areas is material modeling. This common predictive-analysis capability links together our three main divisions and the multiple fields and activities within our company. We are proud to be innovators, continually striving to supply advanced methodologies and designs to produce relevant, cost-effective solutions to our valued customers.
Internationally recognized for our expertise and experience in using general-purpose, finite-element computer programs, ANATECH has developed cutting-edge, advanced material- response (constitutive) models for a variety of applications, such as concrete, steel, nuclear irradiated materials, and solid propellant. These programs include
- The ANACAP series of concrete and steel analysis computer programs
- The FALCON steady-state and transient fuel performance-analysis program
- The TeraGrande explicit and implicit, general purpose, finite-element computer program.
This expertise, combined with our extensive understanding of large complex structures and nuclear fuel and component design, fabrication and performance, uniquely qualifies us to successfully meet the requirements of a broad spectrum of assignments.
