Services
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Our Finite Element Analysis (FEA) services include everything from basic modeling and static analysis to complex assemblies with dynamic, vibration, contact, nonlinear, and fatigue effects. We can analyze metallic, non-metallic, and composite materials. We use our data acquisition system to verify physical components and validate our analyses.
Areas of expertise:
- Modeling of complex components and/or assemblies, including welded, bolted, and other joints
- Basic static strength analysis
- Normal modes (natural frequency and buckling) analysis
- Dynamic analyses including time and frequency domain
- Vibration analyses including harmonic, random, and shock
- Nonlinear deformations
- Nonlinear materials
- Contact
- Superelements
- Metallic and composite materials
- Thermal analysis
3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
Virtually every product development effort relies heavily on the use of our Computer Aided Design (CAD) services. We use our CAD tools from the beginning of a project to visualize the part or assembly and its working environment, until the end for producing finished drawings for communication and production.
Areas of expertise:
- Concept development
- Complex specification compliance
- Concept maturation
- Design for manufacturing
- Test plan development and product testing support
- Solid Modeling
- 2D drawings
- Mass properties
- Bills of material
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Our Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) services are a means of generating solutions for fluid flows both with and without solid interactions. The process is compatible with a variety of process gases, as well as fluids such as water and gasoline. We are capable of a full range of analysis types including:
- static/transient
- compressible
- multi-phase flow with all types of boundary conditions
- heat transfer
- Internal and external flow paths
- Expertise in over all flow path optimization and pressure loss minimization of turbulent flows.
Testing and Data Acquisition (DAQ)
Our testing and data acquisition services include:
- Design Analysis
- Physical Testing
- Strength Analysis
- Cost Reduction Analysis
In addition to our standard services, we offer other advanced programs that complement and extend traditional analysis to greatly assist in the analysis and optimization of structures, including but not limited to:
Detailed strength analysis
- Linear
- Nonlinear
- Dynamic
- Composite laminate analysis
- Progressive ply failure
- Single parts to full assemblies
Vibration and fatigue effects
- modal
- time and frequency domain
- low and high-cycle
- application of MIL-STD-810 procedures
Weight reduction and optimization
- material trades
- structural arrangement trades
Air Force air transportation (ATTLA) certification for complex payloads
- Tie down provision design and/or hardware specification (MIL-STD-209)
- Tie down pattern generation and validation (MIL-STD-1791)
- Payload loading diagram/drawing generation
- Air transport report (ATR) writing
- Test load participation and/or supervision
Solutions
Our solutions cover the spectrum of product realization, from early concept development through prototype, testing, and failure analysis.
- Concept development for form, fit, function, or motion studies
- Analysis of existing designs to confirm strength and give guidance on material or shape selection, if needed
- Digital prototype exploration prior to physical testing
- Verification, validation, and interpretation of physical test results
- Cost reduction through material optimization, structural optimization, and digital prototyping
