Design Validation (FEA) Services

At CADify, we offer comprehensive Design Validation services, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), to help businesses ensure that their designs meet performance requirements and are optimized for manufacturing. Our experienced team of engineers and designers can help identify potential issues with your design and provide detailed recommendations to improve its performance and functionality.

With FEA, we can simulate and analyze the behavior of your product under various conditions, such as temperature, load, and pressure. This provides critical insight into the behavior of your product and can help identify potential issues and weaknesses that may not be apparent through physical testing alone. By identifying and addressing these issues early in the design process, we can help you save time and money and ensure that your product meets your design requirements and performance goals.

At CADify, we understand that every project is unique, and that's why we offer personalized and flexible solutions to meet your specific needs. Our team of engineers and designers works closely with you to understand your project requirements and provide customized recommendations to improve the performance of your product.

  1. Linear Static Analysis: Analyze and iterate designs under steady-state load conditions, assessing stress, strain, and displacement.

  2. Motion (Kinematic) Analysis: Accurately simulate the mechanical movement of assemblies, offering insights on reaction forces and velocities.

  3. Fatigue Analysis: Evaluate the life-span of designs under fatigue failure, considering multiple load scenarios.

  4. Frequency Analysis: Determine the modal shape and natural frequencies of parts and assemblies subjected to vibration inputs.

  5. Thermal Analysis: Analyze heat transfer through conduction, radiation, and convection, and study the effects on stress and displacement.

  6. Buckling Analysis: Assess load-bearing structures under compressive forces and determine the Factor of Safety against buckling failure.

  7. Drop Test: Simulate drop test impacts to understand the behavior of components and assemblies subjected to drop impact.

  8. Nonlinear Analysis: Analyze designs with nonlinear materials, utilizing advanced material models for accurate results.

  9. Composite Analysis: Design with composite materials by specifying fiber orientation and layup schedules while evaluating layer stresses.

  10. Dynamic Analysis: Perform Modal Time History, Harmonic Analysis, Random Vibration, and Response Spectrum tests to analyze transient response, peak response, stress, acceleration, and displacement.

Our Process

  1. Define project requirements: Our team of engineers and designers works closely with you to understand your project requirements, including your design intent, specifications, and performance goals. We also review any CAD models or other technical documentation that you provide.

  2. Select appropriate analysis type: We select the appropriate FEA analysis type based on your project requirements and performance goals. This may include static, dynamic, thermal, or fatigue analysis.

  3. Model creation: We create a computer model of your product in the FEA software. This involves identifying material properties, defining the loads and constraints, and other inputs needed to run the analysis.

  4. Simulation and analysis: We run the FEA simulation to evaluate the behavior of your product under various conditions. This provides critical insight into the behavior of your product and can help identify potential issues and weaknesses.

  5. Recommendations: Based on the FEA analysis, we provide detailed recommendations to improve the performance and functionality of your product. This may include changes to the design, material selection, or other factors that can optimize your product for manufacturing and ensure that it meets your performance goals.

  6. Post-project support: We provide post-project support to ensure that your product meets your design requirements and performance goals. We can work with you to make any necessary revisions to the design or provide additional support as needed.
