Finite Element Analysis

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is an engineering tool designed to tackle complex engineering problems. It involves creating a computer model of a design, which is then stressed and analysed. This method offers a precise and dependable solution that is more cost-effective, convenient, and faster than traditional closed-form analysis techniques. FEA is applicable to both new product development and the enhancement of existing products, and it is rapidly becoming an industry standard.

Swift TG Solutions can assist you in verifying whether a proposed design will meet the required specifications before manufacturing or construction begins, and in identifying any necessary design modifications. We offer a variety of FEA services, including structural, vibration, seismic, thermal, and non-linear analyses.

Swift TG Solutions provides FEA services for both metallic and composite products.

The advantages of FEA include:

  • Evaluating the performance and safety of a design before production

  • Detecting and addressing design flaws early in the design process

  • Enhancing product performance

  • Reducing the costs associated with testing and materials

  • Accelerating time to market

  • Topology Optimisation

Furthermore, FEA enables the simulation of complex physical phenomena with one and two way fluid structure interaction with CFD, allowing engineers to predict how products will behave under transient conditions. This predictive capability is essential for ensuring that designs meet safety and performance standards without the need for extensive physical prototypes. By using FEA, companies can lower the risk of product failure, foster innovation, and improve overall product quality. Swift TG Solutions is dedicated to providing advanced FEA services that help our clients achieve their engineering objectives efficiently and effectively.

Material Efficiency

One of the standout benefits of topology optimisation is its ability to significantly reduce the amount of material required in a design. Here's how it works:

  1. Optimal Material Distribution: Topology optimisation algorithms identify the best way to distribute material within a given design space, ensuring that material is only used where it is most needed for structural integrity and performance.

  2. Weight Reduction: By eliminating unnecessary material, designs become lighter without sacrificing strength or functionality. This is particularly beneficial in industries like aerospace and automotive, where reducing weight can lead to improved fuel efficiency and performance.

  3. Cost Savings: Using less material directly translates to lower production costs. This not only makes the manufacturing process more economical but also reduces the overall cost of the final product.

  4. Sustainability: Reducing material usage contributes to more sustainable practices by reducing waste and conserving resources. This aligns with growing environmental concerns and the push for greener manufacturing processes.

Real-World Applications

  • Aerospace: Lightweight components that maintain high strength and durability.

  • Automotive: Efficiently designed parts that enhance vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.

  • Consumer Goods: Products that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

By leveraging topology optimisation, companies can achieve innovative designs that are not only high-performing but also resource-efficient. This approach not only benefits the bottom line but also supports sustainable development goals.
