Company History
The origins of the company go back to 1970 when a group

University Structural Analysis System, - LUSAS. This team was led by Dr Paul
Lyons who, in 1982, set up an independent company, Finite Element Analysis
Ltd, which has grown annually in size since then. With continuous
development, our LUSAS software products have now become some of the most
respected engineering analysis software packages available today.
