Skills

Industrial markets require existing and developing companies to seek efficiency in the designs of their products in order to be more profitable for the manufacturer, cheaper for the end customer and friendlier for the environment. Developers and manufacturers address these challenges from the start of the conceptual idea of the product, adding advanced finite elements simulation to the design process as the driving force behind the success of their developments. Advanced mechanical/structural analysis tends to govern the design process in highly demanding industries and sectors.

Forensic evaluation, reverse engineering and implementation of solutions

When complete or partial structural failures occur in a specific structure or component, complex analyses are conducted to reduce uncertainties and identify the possible risks. Deviations from the original design, improper structural analysis and finite elements models that are incomplete or inaccurate, together with bad interpretations of the boundary conditions or underestimated loads, lead to inaccurate results that may not be representative of the actual behaviour of the part.
