Finite Element Analysis
(FEA)
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 Benefits of using FEA in Product Development
Detect and address design flaws early in the design process.
Evaluate the performance and safety of a design before production.
Enhance product performance.
Reduce the costs associated with testing and materials
Accelerate time to market
Topology Optimisation
Material Efficiency Benefits
One of the standout benefits of topology optimisation is its ability to significantly reduce the amount of material required in a design.
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.
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.
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.
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.
