Finite Element Analysis
Design Optimization with Finite Element Analysis
To successfully deploy new products, you have to move quickly to get an edge in the market. And while product life cycles get ever shorter, the cost of warranty and service is on the rise. The traditional design-prototype-test approach to new product development can be slow and inefficient when problems are encountered.
Deaton Engineering uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to accurately model products and processes. Our techniques can measure performance, reliability, wear points and predict failures long before you commit to tooling or start to build. We are adept at helping companies improve profitability by dramatically reducing development time, rework and quality issues. Our approach will help you speed up the design process through rapid optimization.
Key FEA Services
Design Optimization
Our goal is to reduce product development costs and improve quality. FEA helps solve design challenges without arduous manual iterations or prototyping.
Solution Verification and Validation
Experienced mechanical engineers verify all FEA findings against empirical test data, simplified models, and classical calculations to ensure accuracy. 3-D modeling is also used to validate designs.
