The paper describe the most significant and innovative research and development design solutions and computational procedures as part of European structural funds project. The object of our calculations is strength simulation analyzes of a new structure of railway tank wagon for transportation of ignition matters through FEM analysis created in program MSC.Marc. Results of calculations and prototype tests prove, that new structure of the construction satisfies strength assessments according to valid requirements and standards.
