Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful engineering technique used to simulate and analyze the behavior of complex structures or systems under various loading conditions.

In FEA, a structure is divided into smaller, finite-sized elements, each with defined material properties and geometric characteristics. By applying mathematical models and numerical methods, FEA calculates the response of these elements to applied forces, allowing engineers to predict factors such as stress, strain, displacement, and deformation throughout the structure.

This analysis enables engineers to assess the performance, strength, and safety of components or systems, optimize designs, identify potential failure points, and validate designs before physical prototyping or production.

FEA plays a crucial role in a wide range of engineering disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, automotive, and structural engineering, providing valuable insights into the behavior of complex systems and facilitating informed design decisions.

Multi-body Dynamics Simulation

Multi-body dynamics simulation is a computational technique used in engineering to analyze the motion and interactions of multiple interconnected bodies within a system. These bodies can represent various mechanical components such as rigid bodies, flexible bodies, joints, springs, dampers, and actuators.

Through mathematical modeling and numerical algorithms, multi-body dynamics simulations simulate the dynamic behavior of the system over time, accounting for forces, moments, constraints, and interactions between the bodies. This simulation technique enables engineers to study complex mechanical systems, predict their dynamic responses to different inputs (such as forces, torques, or motions), evaluate performance, optimize designs, and identify potential issues such as vibration, instability, or component fatigue.

Multi-body dynamics simulations find applications in diverse industries, including automotive, aerospace, robotics, biomechanics, machinery, and manufacturing, providing valuable insights into the behavior and performance of complex mechanical systems.

CAPABILITIES

With MBD Supashock engineers can easily create and test virtual prototypes of mechanical systems in a fraction of the time and cost required to build and test physical prototypes.

MBD BENEFITS

Supashock Defence Features

MBD helps Supashock engineers to study the dynamics of moving parts and how loads and forces are distributed throughout mechanical systems.

Supashock Defence Features

MBD provides accurate load predictions earlier in the design process that make it possible to accurately predict the life of a particular design prior to the prototype phase.

Supashock Defence Features

In Summary: FEA and MBD make it possible to simulate the performance of the complete product early in the design process to improve and optimise the performance of the products while reducing time to market and engineering costs.
