Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Finite Element Analysis (FEA): static, dynamic, vibratory calculation to understand structural and mechanical behaviors.

CD Plast Engineering, mechanical design office specialized in technical development, uses, among others, MSC Software and Abaqus Simulia for mechanical simulation in the field of structural calculation .

CD Plast Engineering uses structural calculation / FEA calculation in order to apprehend the behavior of parts and assemblies in static deformation, during falls , shocks (acceleration, deceleration) and vibrations. Each simulation makes it possible to determine the displacements, the constraints and the efforts .

Static and dynamic calculations (falls and shocks) integrate:

the non-linear behavior of materials, in particular for polymers, making it possible to determine the behavior of the material, to simulate large deformations , resistance to rupture , plasticity , hyper-elasticity, etc.
the contacts (1D, 2D and 3D) involving sliding and friction between each part.

OUR MEANS

We have MSC SOFTWARE including:

“Patran is a complete pre- and post-processing environment dedicated to finite element analysis, which allows engineers to virtually develop and test product designs.”

“Marc is a powerful versatile solution of nonlinear finite element analysis that precisely simulates the reactions of your products under static, dynamic and multi-physical load conditions.”

“We are able thanks to this multi-scale non-linear software and structural modeling to be more precise on the results thanks to the taking into account of the orientation of the fibers given by MOLDFLOW.”

As well as Simulia including the digital simulation tool: Abaqus.
