3D CAD MODELING

3D CAD modeling generates 3D computer models of systems or mechanical parts, allowing users to visualize and manipulate the design before manufacturing.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS (FEA)

FEA employs computer simulation techniques to analyze the mechanical behavior of a system or part under different loading conditions. This approach can be used to optimize the design and identify potential failures.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD):

CFD utilizes computer simulation techniques to analyze fluid flow and heat transfer within a part or system. This method can help identify potential issues and optimize the design.

Product Development and Prototyping

This involves taking a new product from concept to production –  encompassing design, prototyping, testing, and refining until it meets the desired specifications.

DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELING (DEM)

DEM is a computational technique used to simulate the behavior of granular materials. It represents particles as discrete elements and analyzes their motion and interactions within a system. Commonly employed to investigate the mechanics of bulk solids handling and processing equipment, DEM is also useful for studying the behavior of particulate materials in both natural and industrial processes.

Mechanical 3D Part Animation

Mechanical 3D Part Animation is a technique for creating animated visual representations of mechanical parts or systems. It utilizes 3D modeling software to develop a virtual model, which is then animated to illustrate its motion, operation, and functionality. This technique is often employed for design visualization, product demonstrations, and training. By leveraging Mechanical 3D Part Animation, engineers and designers can test and refine their designs, showcase product functionality, and communicate their ideas effectively.

PE stamped drawings and calculations packages

These refer to engineering documents that a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) has reviewed and approved. These documents generally include detailed engineering drawings and calculations for a construction or engineering project, stamped and signed by a PE to indicate compliance with all relevant codes and regulations. Regulatory bodies often mandate PE-stamped drawings and calculation packages to ensure the safety and integrity of construction or engineering projects.

Rigging and Lifting Tooling Design

This refers to designing specialized equipment or tools for lifting and moving heavy loads. This design process involves analyzing the lifting operation’s requirements, such as the weight and dimensions of the load, and determining the most efficient and safe method for lifting and transporting it. Additionally, the rigging and lifting tooling design process considers environmental conditions, safety measures, and compliance with regulatory standards. The outcome is a specialized tool or set of tools optimized for the specific lifting operation, ensuring safety, efficiency, and effectiveness.
