Design and Modelling
We offer a tailored service to meet customers needs. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach we can integrate the design process with computational or physical modelling and simulation enabling designs to be tested or modified in a cost effective and timely manner, and so maintain their edge in innovation and productivity. Providing both modelling and simulation services with physical testing enables us to offer both design and operational advice with total confidence.
What We Do
- Material and stress analysis using finite element analysis (FEA )
- Fluid flow analysis using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
- Pressure surge (water hammer) analysis, also called transient pipe network analysis
- Fluid structure interactions
- Multiscale and molecular dynamics modelling
- Bespoke modelling / simulation
- Diffusion and permeation modelling
- Thermal analysis
- Integrity assurance
- Performance assessment
