Case study

Are digital twins the answer for pressure equipment on mature assets?

“Only 1–2% of reported anomalies require a Level 3 assessment — and you can run a lot of Level 1 & 2 assessments for the price of setting up a single digital twin.”

For a 1st-stage separator on an FPSO with localised CUI wall-loss, we ran an API 579 Level 3 elastic-plastic FEA to confirm it remained fit for service — and kept the model on file for fast re-runs.

Why miSolutions

Engineering you can defend

Valid assessments come from understanding the loads and boundary conditions properly — that's where 30 years pays off.

Efficient & competitive

The right assessment level for the anomaly — no overhead you don't need.

Senior engineers only

Experienced FEA and pressure-systems specialists on every job — no black-box guesswork.

Right data, right format

Inspection data gathered so it's genuinely usable — Excel for L1/2, STP/FEA for L3.
