FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS:

 

We use ANSYS© Tools for composite materials.

We offer services including:

  • Analysis of quai-isotropic and non-isotropic composite materials.
  • 2D (shell) and 3D (solid) analysis.
  • Structural Linear Analysis for static and transient issues.
  • Analysis of Geometric non-linearities (large displacements), and Material non-linearities.
  • Structural Dynamics (Modal, Harmonic, Spectrum, etc...).
  • Buckling (linear and non-linear) and Fatigue testing/analysis.
  • Integration with CAD software to allow import of complex models.
Below are some examples of analysis performed at our facilities.
