Calculation and Simulation
Mechanical calculations using solid and fluid numerical simulation
OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Our engineering office, specialized in modeling and simulation of mechanical, thermal, and fluid behaviors, assesses and optimizes the performance of products, structures, and equipment.
Thanks to our expertise in advanced calculations and numerical modeling, we address a wide range of issues, from structural sizing to the simulation of complex air and hydraulic flows. Our capabilities cover a broad spectrum of analyses to ensure performance, regulatory compliance, and equipment robustness.
Structural analysis
Analysis and sizing of structures and equipment to meet safety and durability requirements
Verification of stability, resistance to operational and test loads, seismic resistance, impact resistance...
Validation of anchors and assemblies (welds, bolts, pins, ...)
Numerical simulations, static and dynamic (transient, modal, spectral, harmonic, PSD)
Linear and non-linear analyses (large displacements, contacts, non-linear materials)
