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.

Chris Taggart
Principal Engineer
Chris has 15+ years’ experience in the application of numerical methods to the study of a wide scope of implicit and explicit structural and thermal problems. This has included analysis ranging from linear and complex non-linear statics through crash and ballistics to high-explosive detonation, blast propagation and hydrodynamics.
Chris has led the design, planning and supervision of precision model validation experiments as well as large-scale blast test programmes.
Specialising in blast and high-rate dynamics, Chris has worked at large government defence organisations holding positions of both Team Leader and Technical Authority.
Ian Harpham
Principal Engineer
With over 25 years’ experience of performing stress analysis, Ian is an expert practitioner of industry recognised software across the automotive, aerospace, mining and defence industries.
Ian has filled a senior technical role at McLaren automotive and was an integral crash analyst for Ferrari, optimising their body-in-white structures to achieve regulatory crash standards with minimum mass solutions.
Ian has led CAE development of an innovative EV battery, ensuring the structural integrity of the battery and casing is sufficient when subjected to abuse, durability and vibration load profiles.
Oliver Boulton
Engineering Analyst | PSE CSWP AMIMechE
Oliver is a Certified SolidWorks Professional and Professional Simulation Engineer with 6 years of FEA experience.
Oliver completed his Bachelor’s degree at The University of West England where he focused on FEA of friction stir welding methods.
Oliver joined Simulated Solutions in the summer of 2023 and has since focused his attention on explicit dynamic analysis. His keen interest in bespoke modifications to classic Land Rovers gives him a hands-on approach to engineering which is reflected in his pragmatic approach to finding practical design solutions.
