Advanced numerical simulations
supporting product design.
Advanced numerical analysis is an essential part of the design process, as it delivers accurate solutions in terms of efficiency, reliability, and performance the of a product.
The CFD division analyzes fluid flow and heat transfer-related issues. The advanced numerical analysis allows our engineers to predict the behavior of specific fluids in various processes and under different conditions. CFD analysis supports product optimization by identifying and eliminating issues that are strictly related to heat transfer and fluid flow, such as thermal efficiency, proper fluid distribution phase transformations, combustion processes, and many more, that could potentially lead to product failure and disturbed operation.
FEA is a numerical method for analyzing and predicting the behavior of structures and systems under various conditions. It allows for the prediction of a structure's stress, strain, and dislocation resulting from the influence of such factors as pressure, temperature, or external loads. FEA analysis supports product optimization by identifying and eliminating weak points of structure that could be a source of structural failures, such as cracking, deforming, and many more.
Applied to model and analyze the structural behavior of the system under loading that does not change over time (stationary loading).
Applied to model and analyze the structural behavior of a system under loading that changes over time (non-stationary loading) due to time-varying internal or external factors.
Applied to predict the allowable number of cycles for given operating conditions by modeling the structural behavior of objects during cyclic operation. These simulations may also include the modeling of defects in a structure, known as fracture mechanics simulations, to determine inspection intervals and critical defect sizes for safe operation.
Applied to model the interaction between mechanical and electrical systems.
Applied to model the behavior of objects under conditions involving heat exchange and phase transitions, including isothermal or temperature difference conditions.
Applied to model the behavior of objects during highly nonlinear and high-speed events, such as impacts, explosions, and material failure.
Applied to model the behavior of objects, such as their wear-out in contact situations.
Applied to model multiple physical phenomena within a single simulation.
We use the capacity of our thermal laboratory to run empirical verification of product performance by conducting a range of comprehensive tests. Gathering the test results and comparing them with numerical simulations allows us to identify the area of improvement where CFD and FEM analysis are not accurate enough to reflect the actual product performance. Thanks to that, we can redefine and improve numerical analysis by adjusting parameters, such as boundary conditions, meshing models or calculation methods.
The entire process is as the following:
Conducting numerical analysis as a part of the designing process
Conducting empirical tests on physical product
Gathering results and comparing with numerical analysis
Identifying areas for improvement
Optimizing numerical analysis
All the above actions lead to constant numerical analysis optimisation by improving their accuracy and thus helping to design reliable and efficient products.
