"FEM CALCUL brings together more than 10 years of experience in both academia and industry in the ambit of complex nonlinear finite element analysis, to help engineers achieving accurate and efficient simulations of complex structural problems."
Academic career
Dr. Denise Ferreira, the founder and CEO of FEM Calcul, obtained her MSc in Civil Structural Engineering from Universidade do Porto (FEUP), Portugal (2009) and her PhD from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona (2013). She worked as a university lecturer and researcher being involved in several projects focused on the analysis of concrete structures, covering both numerical and experimental fields. She has worked as a researcher in Universidade do Porto, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and Delft University of Technology
Professional career
She has worked at DIANA FEA BV, in The Netherlands, since 2016 taken different roles: kernel developer, documentation curator for the DIANA developments, training tutor, client support engineer and product specialist. She is a DIANA Expert and, with FEM Calcul, she continues her technical collaboration with the respective organization.
Our mission
At FEM Calcul we are committed to high standards, to delivering high quality work and always finding the best solutions for the most complex engineering problems. Our final goal is to help structural engineers achieving safer, more economical and overall optimized civil infrastructure.
Our values
FEM, of course, is the acronym of FINITE ELEMENT METHOD. We are experts on using the finite element method to optimize engineering structural solutions.
FEM Calcul is based in Barcelona, Catalunya. FEM is the verb TO DO in Catalan language. We like to take challenges and to get things done.
We support the raising of the FEMinine leadership in the STEM field. We believe that equal opportunities for both women and men and equal representativeness in business will lead to a better world.
