| We perform mechanically oriented finite element simulations using existing software from companies like Dassault Systèmes (Abaqus CAE / Catia), Ansys Inc. and Nastran. These FEM programs are essential for analysing mechanical robustness of polymer based materials in real-life circumstances. Capabilities include: • Stress and strain simulations for complex shapes. • Insight in fracture resistance by simulation of crack initiation and crack propagation. • Inclusion of ageing and fatigue. • Chemically and thermally driven stresses in the time-space domain. |
