Finite Element Analysis

Simulation of a mechanical system or component in it’s working environment.

MSC Nastran is the primary analysis code utilized.

Product Design and Engineering

Special design development and modeling.

Modeling in primarily Autocad and ProE.

Presentations and Customer Interface

Presenting engineering and analysis work as a member of your engineering team.

Full analysis reports presented in both Word and Adobe pdf formats. Results documented in PowerPoint for presentation to customer or engineering team.

 

One of our most important contributions to our customers’ success is the professional presentation of engineering results to customers or management.
