Creative Solutions

• We developed proprietary software tools to generate optimal compliant design configurations including size and shape of structural elements while supporting external loads and ensuring manufacturability, reliability, and energy efficiency of the target design. 

• Our suite of off-the-shelf CAE software includes ANSYS, Matlab, CATIA, and Siemens NX – for optimizing 3-D non-linear elasticity, structure-to-structure contact, and structural dynamics to ensure the efficacy of the selected compliant system designs.

• Our proprietary distributed compliant design tools, including FlexWorks™, aid us in creating structures that are simultaneously flexible and strong or joint-less kinematic mechanisms.

• We offer this same level of technical innovation to you. We have developed practical solutions to unique challenges of our clients including large global OEMs.

Reverse Engineering

• Using leading 3D scanning technology, we transform physical objects and components into usable and reliable 3D digital models. With a history of handling complex structures in the aerospace industry - from full aircraft scans to internal structure scans – we will apply our expertise to your unique engineering challenge.

• Data acquired from scans and aircraft measurements are used to generate CAD, structural FEM, and aero-structural dynamic models. Design modifications or entirely new designs can be realized.

• Our extensive background in reverse engineering can help you effectively optimize legacy designs, regardless of industry.


Aircraft Enhancement

• We provide comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses for customers with both new and existing aircraft designs - optimizing new designs and retrofits, significantly improving fuel efficiency, aircraft range, and overall flight performance. Let our experts identify areas for aerodynamic efficiency improvements and propose modifications to enhance overall performance.

• We offer specialized aircraft repair kits custom designed to meet your needs. We design and manufacture repair systems including comprehensive repair procedures - to restore functionality, safety, and performance.

• We offer extensive testing capabilities in our 11,000 sq. ft. dedicated testing laboratory. Catering to a wide array of requirements, our services include static, dynamic, and fatigue testing of structural components. We can accommodate a diverse range of test article sizes, from small components to large sections of an aircraft wing. This flexibility, combined with rigorous testing protocols, validates the performance of tested components under a variety of operational conditions.
