Time for a quick update, Femkuber has been involved in increasingly diversified analyses and calculations since the last update. A few of the most recent ones are:
Two modules for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for Norcem’s concrete factory in Breivik, Norway.
A movable module dedicated for compression of steel pipes for a Polish nuclear power plant.
Re-certification and documentation by analysis of an overhead crane at Blommenholm Båtforening, Høvik, Norway.
Femkuber has added Staad Pro to its toolbox. This software is a comprehensive FE software mainly based on beam theory and will be utilized for structural analyses and code check verifications:

2020 has been challenging for many people and companies and we feel for those who struggle with the consequences of Covid-19 and the generally poor market conditions. Femkuber has also felt the impact of the pandemic, but is fortunately still going strong. The last year has provided various exciting analysis challenges. This includes verification of a lifting spread for melting crucible with bail, blast analyses on SO2-shelters, in-place analyses of offshore modules and various subsea equipment to mention some.
In the advent of a roll-out of an effective vaccine against the Plague, we wish all our clients and collaborating partners a Happy New Year, and hope sincerely it will be better than the previous. Take care and stay safe.
Femkuber has recently contributed to an article in the Wave and Tidal Magazine:
Dear reader,
There has been a while since the last update, and we apologize for that. This is not due to a lack of ongoing activities, but rather to the nature of the projects we have been involved in. Some includes clients with a need to keep technical details secret due to patenting processes, others to strategic issues.
So we are still vibrantly active with engineering challenges and always with the best for our clients in focus.
Yours sincerely,
Femkuber
Femkuber has now developed the capability of high accuracy hydro power plant calculations as part of our long and close cooperation with Tidetec. This includes:
The above capabilities can be used to compare turbine options (Francis/Kaplan/Pelton), establish turbine dimensions, energy output and so on for any hydro power plant configuration.

Femkuber is now updated with the latest of Ansys' flagship software, Mechanical Enterprise 19. This meets Femkuber's need for a broad application software, enabling us to maintain our edge, from geometry modelling to analyses of composites, floating structures, geometry optimization etc.
For the last few months, Femkuber has performed extensive structural optimization and verification analyses on Hallgruppen's products. These comprises the entire spectrum of small party tents to large industrial halls.
Hallgruppen is a rapidly growing and ambitious company. It has during its few years of existence grown to become one of the main suppliers in the Scandinavian market.
Femkuber has been engaged by Goldfish Boats to perform analyses and verifications of vital GRP-parts on their 29' Tender. The analyses have been performed in Ansys Mechanical Enterprise suite mainly with the ACP module.
We are very proud to be trusted and recognized by Goldfish Boats, and are looking forward to exciting further collaboration!
