Finite element analysis

FEA allows the user to predict and improve product performance and reliability, make physical prototyping more accurate, evaluate different designs and materials whilst also reducing material usage and cost.

The effects of wear can be assessed in a virtual environment as can the application of constraints such as pressure and temperature. Tolerances in the component or assembly can be readily identified in order that any play or movement can be accommodated within the final design.

The company is exhibiting at Southern Manufacturing on stand U115.
