Simulation & Analysis
Innovate your products with Finite Element Analysis. Improve quality and reliability, Optimise the design for improved performance, Increase Safety. We use SOLIDWORKS Simulation, Ansys and Fusion 360 to solve those tricky challenges.
Ansys
Ansys is an industry leading premium state of the art solution for Finite Element Analysis and integrates with other leading Engineering software solutions.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation
SolidWorks is a leading Computer Aided Design solution benefitting from integrated simulation software. This covers FEA as well as mechanism analysis.
Fusion 360
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based software solution that integrates with Ansys to provide the best of both worlds in terms of flexibility. Where budgets are limited, or early design assessment is required this is ideal. Generative design brings AI tools to the development process.
Engineering calculations are the starting point for any product development whether tolerance stack analysis or hand stress calculation.

Code Development
For more advanced hand calculations, Python code can be used to quickly assess key performance characteristics. Some Finite element software codes also utilise python scripting methods.
How do we do it?
With access to multiple Finite Element software solutions in combination with CAD software and Mathcad, simulations are carried out to fit any budget. Typical Simulations may cover: -
-
Linear and Non-linear Static Stress analysis.
-
Linear and Non-linear Buckling.
-
Design Optimisation.
-
Stochastic design assessment.
-
Modal Analysis.
-
Fatigue assessment.
-
Thermal heat transfer and stress analysis.
