CAD Modelling & Engineering Drawings
Develop 3D models and 2D engineering information for components, mechanisms, assemblies, complete mechanical products and subsystems.
01 / CAPABILITIES
CAD & FEA.
Engineering in detail.
CAD modelling, engineering drawings and finite element analysis for mechanical components, assemblies, products and subsystems across industries.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Assess structural performance using Finite Element Analysis, with modelling assumptions, load cases, assessment criteria and reporting defined for each project.
02 / FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Structural insight.
Using FEA.
Each analysis is scoped around the application: its loading, restraints, materials, interfaces and assessment criteria. The deliverable records assumptions, results, limitations and design recommendations.
Static Structural Analysis
Assess stress, deformation and reactions under defined static loads.
Nonlinear Structural Analysis
Investigate material nonlinearity, large deformation and changing contact.
Buckling Analysis
Assess structural stability and susceptibility to buckling.
Modal Analysis
Identify natural frequencies and corresponding vibration modes.
Dynamic Analysis
Assess response to loads that vary with time or frequency, including scoped vibration, shock or impact work.
Fatigue Assessment
Assess repeated-loading behaviour using an agreed loading history, material basis and assessment approach.
03 / FROM REQUIREMENT TO RELEASE
Information that
moves development forward.
CAD, drawings and FEA can be commissioned individually or integrated into a product-development programme. Prototype manufacture and physical testing can be coordinated through agreed suppliers or facilities.
| Development stage | Questions we resolve | Typical outputs |
|---|---|---|
| Define | What must the product do? | Product brief, requirements and acceptance criteria |
| Design | How will it function, assemble and be made? | Concepts, 3D CAD, FEA and specifications |
| Validate | What evidence supports the design and its intended use? | Analysis reports, prototype findings and verification records |
| Deliver | What is needed for the next stage or production? | 2D drawings, BOMs and controlled release information |
04 / DESIGN SCOPE
Defined by the product.
Open across industries.
We consider work across industries, establishing the technical requirements, complexity and expertise needed for each assignment. Materials and manufacturing processes are selected to suit the product.
Components
Individual parts, interfaces and features, supported by 3D modelling, 2D drawings and FEA where required.
Assemblies & mechanisms
Connected parts, moving mechanisms, fasteners, contact conditions and assembly arrangements.
Products & subsystems
Complete mechanical products and defined subsystems within larger equipment or systems.
Our design scope can include machined, sheet-metal, fabricated, cast, moulded, composite and additively manufactured parts.
BUILD TO ENDURE
What are you developing?
Share the product, function and constraints. We will define the CAD, drawing and analysis work needed for its next stage.
