Finite Element Analysis
Finite Element Analysis
Mechanical analysis of parts in use and in manufacture, to check material and design performance before tooling.
Testing Designs Before They Are Made
This is an important aspect of the product development where the performance of the material to be used, and the part design, are critical. I carry out the mechanical analysis for both the parts in use and in manufacture. Examples:
- Distortion under load
- Fatigue in long term use
- Breaking point
- Weak points
- Mechanical movement
- Shrinkage and distortion in moulding
- Draft Angles for moulding
- Die lock in moulding
The video shows an animation of the distortion analysis of an Acetal part with a spring.
