Structural Analysis
Optimized without compromise.
Structural analysis applied from concept through production design.
For conventional and composite materials, our methods include linear and non-linear analysis of:
- Material stress/strain behaviour
- Large displacements and rotations
- Contact interaction
- Temperature changes
For composite structures, our unique analysis capabilities include:
1
Extensive database of reinforced plastics, adhesives and core materials
2
Validated modelling approaches for laminates, sandwich panels and bonding
3
Tools to define and transition laminate definitions between finite element solvers
4
Direct interface and feedback from manufacturing teams
Optimization techniques, including Design of Experiments (DOE) studies, deliver:
- Improved products at minimal mass by optimizing material distribution within available volumes
- Early concept direction for product and system topology
- Improved stamping structural behaviours
