REALISTIC SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEX PROJECTS
Thanks to accurate calculations and thinking, we find a solution for every complex challenge. We determine the critical parts and calculate them to avoid surprises when building a construction. From structure and construction to materials and weights – everything is relevant.
Reports for the application of certifications;
Always insight into your project thanks to a permanent Lead Engineer;
Our approach is thorough.
20-Sim simulations
With 20-Sim we perform various analyzes to discover how the dynamic loads relate to each other. In this way we provide insight into dynamic factors. We incorporate the results of the various analyzes into the design.
Buckling calculations
MechDes has a lot of experience in performing detailed buckling calculations using FEM. It is part of the strength calculation of a construction, we use it to demonstrate the stability. We combine linear and non-linear sums to get the right insight.
Fatigue
When a structure is subject to varying loads, this poses a potential safety risk. We make detailed calculations with the clearest possible indication of high- or low-cycle fatigue. This results in an expected service life and advice on inspection points.
FEM report
The FEM report is a readable and structured report of the FEM analysis. We provide a clear explanation of the analysis that can be tested: from requirement to outcome. A clear report on whether or not structural requirements have been met. The degree of detail can differ per project and depends on the need.
Project management
MechDes realizes every project within time, budget and pre-arranged agreements. We relieve our customers. We make an overview of deliverables. You will not be faced with any surprises. A permanent project manager will always keep you informed.
In short, you always have an overview of every project.
FEM analysis
With static, linear and non-linear FEM analyses, we analyze and assess the strength and deformation of a machine or a specific machine part. We process the outcome of this in a readable report. We approach an FEM analysis in a structured manner: determining load cases, setting up a model, applying load and drawing conclusions. Thanks to smart links with various CAD packages, we can iterate quickly and efficiently.
Frequency Calculations
We use our own frequency calculations to determine vibration modes. We use this to determine the accuracy of dynamic machines such as robots, heavy machines and manipulators. Our own frequency calculation is an in-depth customized service from MechDes.
