Calculating stationary and transient mechanical and thermal structures
Robustness, safety and energy efficiency
Why carry out structural calculations and thermal simulations?
- Analyse the mechanical behaviour of structures under various stresses (static and dynamic).
- Optimise design using the finite element method (FEM).
- Simulate thermal transfers (conduction, convection, radiation) to ensure energy efficiency.
- Anticipate risks of failure and improve component life.
- Ensure compliance with standards and regulatory requirements.
Examples of industrial applications
- Calculation of the mechanical strength of industrial equipment.
- Simulation of the thermal resistance of metal and composite structures.
- Thermal insulation studies for the aerospace and energy industries.
- Modelling of thermal effects on electronic systems.
- Validation of the performance of cooling and thermal dissipation systems.
