Analysis / Simulation Services

Developing a product is one thing - developing a product that works is another.  Our analysis and simulation services ensure that your products work: work in the field, work within your requirements and work within your budget.

Our simulation services cover a wide range of capabilities including:

Assembly Simulation.

Simulate static or dynamic loads to evaluate your design’s performance under stress, strain, and displacement.

 

Mechanism Simulation.

Simulate real-world operating conditions for your design. Check for colliding parts. Output numerical and graphic data of the results, as well as animations.

 

Simulate Welded Structures.

Ensure your welded structures perform at peak operating conditions. Apply pressure, forces, and bearing loads.

 

Compare and Optimize Alternatives.

Determine the best design option by comparing strengths, life, cost, and weight.

 

Simulate Plastic Parts.

 Simulate your plastic components in all possible tests and environments, and optimize parts for volume and cost.

 

Simulate Forced Vibrations.

Predict and control vibrations or dynamic responses.  Design studies, including Transient study, Harmonic Response study, and Random Response study.

 

Simulate Drop Test or Impact.

Define drop height, surface, and orientation. Perform realistic collision simulation between parts or assemblies.

 

Predict Buckling or Collapse.

Apply forces, pressure, gravity, and centrifugal forces to your designs to determine maximum loads before buckling.

 

Simulate Heating or Cooling.

Study heat effects on your designs. Simulate thermal boundary conditions, fluid flow, thermal-structural interactions, and radiation effects in high-temperature applications.

 

Nonlinear Dynamics.

Test and validate designs with a broad range of advanced capabilities, including: nonlinear displacement analysis and analysis of nonlinear materials, as well as dynamic response analysis of parts and assemblies.

Simulate Repeated Loading

Simulate, evaluate, and improve a part or assembly that must withstand the rigors of daily operation. Evaluate the differences in your system’s performance to varying speeds or frequencies, and estimate the design life of your entire product.

Simulate Natural Frequencies

Predict and control natural modes of vibration to avoid potentially damaging resonant frequencies. Study the effects of both loads and material choices.
