In-house computer resources
As an integral part of the investigation process, Danay Engineering makes extensive use of its in-house computer simulation facilities. Amongst those are dedicated software, such as TRIX97 for reinforced concrete response, and general purpose finite element programs, the most powerful being ANSYS.

Finite element analysis software is used for a variety of applications such as:
 | Static and dynamic stress analysis |
| Fatigue analysis |
| Thermal analysis |
| Plastic deformations and failure mode assessments |
| Crack propagation |
| Seismic analysis |
TRIX97 is a finite element computer program developed at the University of Toronto that incorporates the state-of-the-art formulations of the Modified Compression Field Theory, the most advanced analytical method to predict reinforced concrete response. The program is capable of simulating in great detail the response of in-plane reinforced concrete structures, including cracking patterns, rebar yielding, concrete distress regions, and failure. Its accuracy and has been thoroughly examined and confirmed by modeling "benchmark" tests reported in literature.
Few design analysis and optimization
software available today can match the power of ANSYS/Mechanical.
Combining the capabilities of ANSYS/Structural and ANSYS/Thermal, ANSYS/Mechanical
delivers the broadest range of structural engineering disciplines available in one
software package.
ANSYS/Structural performs high-end structural analysis with advanced nonlinear static and
dynamic capabilities including geometric, material, element, buckling, and general
contact. This simulation tool enables users to accurately simulate the performance of
large, complex models.
ANSYS/Thermal is a self-contained, stand-alone thermal program, for steady state and transient thermal analyses.
