FXC Reference Number: TIMR252281 Mechanical simulations play a crucial role in product development by providing performance predictions, recommending design modifications, and answering several "what if" scenarios. These simulations offer several advantages such as cost reduction, risk mitigation, visual prototyping, and serving as an alternative to real-world testing. Using state-of-the-art simulation packages, we at IMR provide a detailed overview of structural, thermal, acoustic, and fluidic behaviours of components under various loading conditions. We provide services to a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. Our mechanical simulation capabilities include: 1. Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Using FEA, we simulate the response of materials and structures to various forces, stresses, and deformations. The geometry of the structure can be optimized based on the numerical predictions. 2. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): We model the complex fluid flow and thermal interactions in systems like HVAC, heat exchangers, and multiphase systems. 3. Thermal Analysis: Thermal simulations provide an understanding of how systems react to thermal loads, offer temperature maps to identify problematic areas, and increase system efficiency. Examples include electronics cooling, manufacturing processes like casting, and thermal loading on space system components. What to Expect: • 10 days of technical discussions with the simulation expert. • Comprehensive report on the simulation findings. • Animations, images, and presentations. • Raw data and simulation files available upon request. This Service is Designed For: • Manufacturers; • Consultancies. #DataModelling #PredictiveAnalytics #DataVisualization #TechnologyTrends #ProductDevelopment #ProofOfConcept #PrototypeTesting #TechnologyValidation #TechnologyAssessment #IterativeDevelopment #TechnologyTrials
