Independent Scrutiny
  We are often requested to perform scrutiny of supplier structural analysis calculations. To ensure this work is properly documented and that ... Read more
Fatigue Analysis
Fatigue assessments are key to many transport applications.  This is especially true for rail vehicles where the fatigue life of the components is quite ... Read more
Virtual Wind Tunnel
  Anything that can be tested in a conventional wind tunnel can be quickly set-up to run in the Virtual Wind Tunnel at a fraction of the cost and ... Read more
Kinematics (Mechanisms)
  Using the powerful MotionSolve kinematics solution from Altair’s HyperWorks suite, and the embeded ADAMS kinematics tool from SolidWorks Premium ... Read more
Optimisation
  Design and Analysis’ optimisation software allows us to set up iterative analysis solves to optimise the structure for stiffness, strength and ... Read more
Crash Analysis
Crash analysis also known as explicit analysis uses a completely different solution method to the other analysis methods we employ. It is based on the ... Read more
Non-linear Analysis
Non-linear analysis brings in extra complexities during the solve to account for the real world effects of contacts, plastic deformation and large scale ... Read more
Linear Static Analysis
This is forms the foundation for most of our analysis work although these days we will often move to the non-linear methods to obtain improved accuracy and ... Read more
Manual Calculations
Manual calculations are sometimes requested in preference to FEA techniques and we are experienced in their use and application using tools such as Mathcad ... Read more
