Pioneers In Our Field

FlexSys employees are pioneers of compliant systems technology. The company was founded in 2000 by University of Michigan professor Dr. Sridhar Kota, who initiated research in compliant systems in the 1980s. Based on methodologies originally invented at the University of Michigan, FlexSys Inc. develops and maintains its own proprietary structural optimization codes that are used to automate the design of high-performance compliant systems. In addition, FlexSys Inc. uses commercial computer-aided engineering solvers to simulate complex phenomena such as non-linear elasticity, structure-to-structure contact, and structural dynamics. However, our expertise goes far beyond computational modeling; we have a great deal of experience with materials and manufacturing techniques that allows us to fabricate and test proof-of-concept prototypes.

We Design Custom Systems to Meet Our Clients' Needs

Our business model is to develop innovative products, using Compliant Design Methods, in collaboration with manufacturers and strategic partners. FlexSys Inc. welcomes consulting work to tailor a solution for your company's particular needs, or partnering with companies to jointly develop new technologies.
