FEA & CFD ANALYSIS
Proof your design holds up.
Structural, aerodynamic and thermal simulation for drones, aerospace and industrial products.
WHO IT'S FOR
Simulation for any engineering team.
We analyse drones, aerospace parts and industrial products for any team that needs simulation, whether or not the work is heading for Type Certification.
FEA
Finite element analysis: structural integrity.
We check that frames, arms, landing gear and payload mounts carry their loads with the margin your design needs.
- Static stress analysis
- Modal and vibration analysis
- Fatigue analysis
- Crash and impact simulation
- Frame, arm, landing gear and payload mount analysis
- Reports with factor-of-safety results
StressLowHigh
Geometry
The part as modelled, ready for analysis.
Mesh
The part divided into finite elements.
Stress
Where stress concentrates under load.
CFD
Computational fluid dynamics: aerodynamics and thermal performance.
We simulate how air moves over and through your design, and how heat leaves the electronics.
- Airflow and drag
- Propeller and rotor flow
- Thermal and cooling of electronics
VelocityLowHigh
PressureLowHigh
OTHER CALCULATIONS
Calculations that support the analysis.
Centre of gravity (CG)
Where the drone's mass is centred, for balance, payload placement and control.
Ceiling height
An estimate of the maximum altitude the drone can reach and hold, for its weight and propulsion.
