Dynamic Analysis in FEA

Enabling engineers to account for time dependent structural characteristics at the design level.

 

Dynamic Consulting Engineers

Dynamic FEA refers to a collection of powerful simulation techniques that can be used to model even the most complicated engineering systems.  SimuTech Group provides commercial Dynamics Consulting and analysis services across a variety of industries.  Common requests include assessing the effects of transient loads, eliminating or preventing noise, as well as measuring and correcting vibration-related issues in industrial machinery, manufacturing processes, aerospace equipment, automotive crashes, multistage compressors and more.

As engineers seasoned in the field, a dynamic evaluation from SimuTech Group engineers rarely ends at mere analytical output. SimuTech Group routinely collaborates with clients to provide design solutions that are both practical and profitable:

The cost of an in-field contact analysis testing is high. The use of dynamics simulations during the design stage can help to minimize or reduce the need for rig testing, as well as the operational cost of doing so.

Additionally, under dynamic loads, failure can be severe and costly. It is possible to avoid costly mistakes in the real-world application of a product by evaluating the structure during the design stage.

Advanced Linear Dynamics Consulting

For linear dynamics, the initial effort is often to determine the natural frequencies through a modal analysis.

Results are then utilized in a harmonic, shock, seismic, random vibration, or transient simulation to determine deflections, stresses, and strains. For nonlinear dynamics, a direct transient simulation can be performed.
