FEA is the gold standard for FFS assessments—but it comes at a cost. Traditional FEA assessments are expensive, time-consuming, and require expert knowledge along with costly commercial software licenses. 

Our primary goal is simple: deliver a focused, API 579-compliant solution that meets the most common needs of the oil and gas industry—without the overhead of large, general-purpose platforms like Ansys or Abaqus. 

Equity Software’s automated FEA tools are built specifically to remove barriers to advanced integrity assessments. Our cloud-native platform eliminates the need for expensive licenses and local computational resources, while our scalable architecture enables users to run multiple assessments in parallel, saving both time and money.

More than just analysis tools, our solution automates the entire Level 3 assessment workflow, making detailed FFS evaluations as accessible as traditional Level 2 methods.

Get accurate stress and damage assessments across your critical assets faster, easier, and without compromise. Subscribe today and see how advanced FEA can fit seamlessly into your integrity management program.

Dents

The dent tool evaluates strain, damage, and the remaining life of dents to ensure the operational reliability of pipelines. By automating this traditionally labor-intensive process, operators can prioritize repairs based on the severity of the dents. 

•  Automatically iterates on the indenter displacement to match the measured dent depth, accounting for elastic-plastic rebound and reround
• Use an inspection grid to build a conforming indenter, or select from a catalogue of ideal indenters
• Automatically post-processes dent strain, damage, fatigue life, and burst pressure
• Quantifies damage using strain limit damage (SLD), ductile failure damage indicator (DFDI), and Bao-Wierzbicki damage parameters
• Conducts fatigue life assessments using the full operating history with automatic rainflow cycle-counting
