Our computer generated models, illustrations and images are used for many purposes outside the core scope of engineering, for example, patent and registered design applications (working with a patent attorney), marketing, website images, advertising, purchasing, and documentation information etc. As this data is available early in a project and before any physical model, it offers many commercial opportunities.
As part of our mechanical engineering service, we use computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs to perform design and analysis processes, including 3D computer-aided design (CAD). This method has many benefits, including easier and more exhaustive visualisation of products, the ability to create virtual assemblies of parts, and the ease of use in designing mating interfaces and tolerances.
Other CAE programs commonly used for mechanical engineering include analysis tools to predict product response to expected loads, including fatigue life and manufacturability. These tools include finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).
Using CAE programs, the mechanical design can quickly and cheaply be iterated so the design process to develop a product can better meet cost, performance, and other constraints. No physical prototype need be created until the design nears completion, allowing many designs to be evaluated, instead of a relative few. In addition, CAE analysis programs can model complicated physical phenomena which are not practical to be fully solved by hand, such as viscoelasticity, complex contact between mating parts, or non-Newtonian flows.
