Friday, 21 December 2007 10:12

 

The SimuTech group provides engineering simulation services such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) from conceptual product development to finished product.

We offer a full range of simulatifon services including structural, thermal, fluid dynamics and electromagnetics. Our FEA consultants are experienced in several industries including power generation, biomedical, chemical equipment, electronics, automotive, and aerospace, to mention just a few. We use a wide variety of engineering analysis software, such as ANSYS, CFX, FLUENT, ANSYS LS DYNA, AUTODYN, AQWA, ICEM CFD mesher, BLADE, STELLA, and IMPRO to solve some of the most complex engineering simulation problems for our customers.

We have offices located across North America in:

  • Atlanta, GA (Norcross)
  • Chicago, IL (Downer's Grove)
  • Cincinnati, OH
  • Cleveland, OH (Hudson)
  • Denver, CO
  • Montreal, Canada
  • Rochester, NY
  • Seattle, WA (Everett)
  • Toronto, Canada
