Simulation & FEA Consulting
Decision-ready simulation support that reduces test iterations, de-risks design decisions, and shortens development cycles. From a single critical component to a wider workflow across assemblies, we define the right level of model fidelity and translate results into clear design actions.
Typical projects: brackets and frames, bolted joints, composite sub-components, thermal distortion, vibration issues, and failure reconstruction—delivered as a clear decision pack with stated assumptions.
Choose how you’d like to continue.
STRUCTURAL CAPABILITIES
Open the items below to confirm scope. We choose the minimum model fidelity that answers the decision, then document assumptions and sensitivities.
TYPICAL OUTCOMES
Simulation should leave you with clearer, lower-risk decisions—not just plots.
- Reduce risk before prototype and test spend — validate critical behaviour early and avoid wasted build cycles.
- Improve strength / stiffness / weight trade-offs — quantify options so you can choose the right balance.
- Identify failure modes early and prioritise fixes — focus effort on the highest-impact issues first.
- Support design reviews with traceable evidence — decisions backed by clear assumptions and results.
DELIVERABLES
Outputs you can reuse internally and share with stakeholders with confidence.
- Decision-focused conclusions and recommended design changes — clear next steps you can act on.
- Clearly stated assumptions (loads, constraints, materials, safety factors) — so results are reviewable and defensible.
- Model files and notes suitable for internal reuse — handover outputs that survive team changes (where agreed).
- Technical reporting — concise summary or full report, matched to your stakeholders.
INPUTS & HANDOVER
Send what you have—we’ll fill any gaps with a minimal, agreed set of assumptions. Outputs are structured for reuse and auditability.
- Geometry: STEP/Parasolid (or drawings)
- Materials: datasheets / curves / spec
- Loads & constraints: operating scenario, boundary conditions, interfaces
- Success criteria: FoS, deflection, allowable stress/strain, life, pass/fail
- Context: test data, failure photos, field notes (optional)
- Interoperability: standard CAD interchange (STEP/Parasolid)
- Traceability: documented assumptions, BCs, and mesh approach
- Handover: structured pack for internal continuation (where required)
