Services
Explicit Dynamic Analysis
Impact, shock and crash simulations to predict highly non-linear and time-dependent structural response to dynamic loadings; providing design performance insight that classical analytical methods simply cannot match.
Services
Structural Analysis
Linear and non-linear static simulations to assess strength, stiffness, and stability under real-world loading conditions; ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance from concept to final design.
Services
Dynamics & Vibration
Modal, harmonic, and frequency response analysis to evaluate how products behave under vibrational load conditions, essential for noise harshness and durability assessments.
Services
Advanced Materials
With experience in modelling sand, soil, concrete, foams, plastics and composites; no matter how complex the material we’ll help accurately predict its response to loadings.
Services
Design Exploration
Leverage simulation to explore design alternatives, reduce weight, improve performance, and streamline development cycles.
Services
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
We harness in-house HPC to handle intricate geometries, detailed assemblies, and high-fidelity models; reducing turnaround time and increasing insight quality.
