We support your project with high-quality Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and services to ensure your product's structural integrity and further optimize its design. From static and dynamic to linear, nonlinear, and thermal analyses—we have the right method for your specific challenge.
By using the latest simulation tools, we can offer you an insight into the behavior of a component even before the first prototypes are realized. This simulation on the computer saves you time-consuming trials and gets you to your goal faster.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method based on solving systems of differential equations. It enables the solution of diverse problems for complex geometries. For this purpose, the component is discretized, meaning it is divided into small elements. The physical behavior of these elements is defined by shape functions.
Das physikalische Verhalten dieser Elemente wird mit Ansatzfunktionen beschrieben.
Resulting stresses and deformations are calculated based on the applied loads. This allows us to identify the root causes of component failure (e.g., local stress concentrations, unwanted plastic deformation) and develop targeted design solutions.
An FE simulation can identify oversizing as well as structural weaknesses under specific loading conditions. These results support component optimization, allowing for weight reduction in areas with lower stress levels.
The Finite Element Method (FEM) allows for the determination of temperature distribution in components under thermal load. This temperature distribution can induce thermal stresses and deformations.
Structural vibrations manifest as acoustic radiation (noise). Furthermore, resonance effects can lead to excessive mechanical loads. Through frequency analysis, these critical resonances can be identified.
When facing challenges with bolted joints or sealing issues, we are here to support you—not only with FEA calculations but also with decades of experience.
In addition to static strength, we ensure your product offers fatigue strength and operational durability. We identify critical areas and derive constructive design improvements.
Simulating dynamic systems allows us to determine the forces resulting from a prescribed motion. Conversely, we can calculate the resulting dynamics and forces under applied loads. Excessive loads can lead to damage in bearings and joints, as well as cause large, unwanted deformations. Combining such dynamic analyses with structural strength calculations helps you significantly extend the service life of stressed components.
We offer qualified, individual and free consulting during the entire project including detailed explanation and interpretation of the results. Because we care about your success, we always go one step further and sometimes solve problems you didn't even know existed.
