Structural Analysis

The right analysis at the right time increases efficiency in product development. Project risks and costs are reduced and product performance is improved.

We find the optimal combination of classical analysis, numerical FE-simulation and testing for your specific problem. We offer our support throughout the entire product development process, starting with the concept followed by a feasibility study, dimensioning, all the way to certification.

For very complex tasks, we automate the process of structural analysis with customized software. By automating the classical analysis methods, FE-simulations, and data processing methods, we can develop highly efficient solutions especially in the realm of iterative development projects.

Automated Analysis

Analyses of complex structures are multifaceted and laborious. Often, designs and requirements such as load cases, failure criteria etc. change during the analysis process. This further increases the complexity of the task.

The solution: Fast iteration by automating the analysis with tailored software. We automate classical analysis methods, FE simulation as well as data processing with software in Excel VBA, Python, R Matlab or C/C++. This enables:

  • Fast iteration with a few clicks, even with large amounts of data
  • Adjustments to parameters or the analysis process are immediately visible in the results
  • Simple data handling, preparation and presentation
  • Early optimization of complex structures
  • Rapid sensitivity analyses
