Putting shapes together is only the beginning of the Engineering.
Proper Engineering Analysis is the preliminary step to assuring a safe and stable design.
This is commonly referred to as Finite Element Analysis, FEA, or some refer to it as Finite Element Method, FEM. This is the process of identifying and applying forces to parts and assemblies in a realistic manner in order to better understand the real world results of a design.
We have developed a highly detailed material library to meet the majority of customers' needs and can even arrange for material testing to allow for analysis of more exotic materials.
We can provide complex assembly analyses of multi-material assemblies, even in compliance with codes such as ASCE 7, AASHTO, or ANSI Z359.
Forces can be from gravity or physical objects, but sometimes you need to know the results of a fluid's flow in, around or through a design.
We use a suite of different software to analyze designs.
We can help customers optimize, trouble-shoot, and validate engineering with preliminary analyses.
