Designing & Testing Custom Components
With the growing need of custom testing services, there is also a demand for designing custom test rigs, fixtures, samples, and parts.
What Is Solid Modeling?
Solid modeling is a set of mathematical principles and computer modeling of three-dimensional solids. This process is different from related modeling, such as geometric modeling, because of its emphasis on physical dependability.
Using solid modeling, the engineers at Innovative Test Solutions, Inc. (ITS) can design, model, and build a wide range of components to fulfill the testing requirements outlined by the client.
What Is Finite Element Analysis?
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) identifies the critical areas that carry the bulk of stresses caused by deformation or vibration. Analysis also determines less important areas in which a material reduction may be possible.
Undergoing FEA in the early design stage can greatly enhance the overall product quality.
FEA can create a substantial advantage in testing the performance of a product. It can also significantly reduce product cost, especially if applied early in the design cycle.
ITS can perform the following finite element analyses:
Capture the Effects of Large Displacements on Your Design
We can examine the impact of large displacements and changes to the loads and restraints. We can transition easily between linear and nonlinear simulations and study nonlinear buckling and snap-through events.
Simulate Products Made With Nonlinear Materials
This helps optimize designs with hyper-elastic materials such as rubbers and silicones. We can conduct an elasto-plastic analysis to study the onset of yield as well plastic deformation and examine creep effects and material changes with temperature.
Perform Dynamic Analysis of Parts & Assemblies
We can simulate time history loading, steady-state harmonic input, and random vibration excitations using uniform and multi-base motion systems to model structures with non-uniform support excitations. We input excitation curves of forces in random vibration analyses and study stress, displacement, velocity, and acceleration with time, as well as RMS and PSD values for each unit.
Simulate Composite Materials
We study multilayered shell bodies to examine how each layer has its own isotopic or orthotropic material properties, thickness, and orientation.
