DYNAMICS AND VIBRATION

Forced vibration simulations can provide a great deal of insight into how a particular design responds to a range of excitation frequencies with specified amplitudes. Forced vibration simulations apply a single sinusoidal excitation force at a constant or varying amplitude over a specified range of frequencies. This class of simulations also has the ability to emulate physical shaker table testing within a virtual environment by not only providing an excitation source, but also by allowing for results extractions at specified spatial locations similar to physical test instrumentation.

Integration of forced vibration simulation within the early stages of product design can dramatically reduce the number of physical iterations and time associated with physical testing by simulating within a virtual environment.

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD)

CFD

Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) during the design process can help certain designs to increase insight into performance, while reducing physical testing costs and compressing project timelines. CFD simulation services assist design teams with identifying design issues before physical prototyping or final production. This enables teams to rapidly optimize designs within a virtual simulation environment. Customers can receive significant benefits both in cost and project lead time when utilizing CFD simulation services compared to traditional trial and error approaches.
