CONSTRUCTION OPTIMIZATION AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING

Description

CONSTRUCTION OPTIMIZATION AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING
Optimization of structures - measures aimed at reducing the mass, size, material consumption of the product while maintaining the main characteristics.

Optimization of structural elements will save in some cases up to 30% of the cost of the final product, without losing its functionality.
Engineering consulting - services in the field of creation and improvement of technological products. Consulting will highlight the weak points of products in terms of various qualities and parameters.

Example 1
TASK
Analysis of the reasons for the marriage of the party baby strollers brand HappyBaby.

RESULT
Nodes of the product were identified that did not pass through the loads, due to the calculation by the finite element method, a conclusion was issued for reasons of breakdowns. Consulting allowed the company OOO "Opt-Union" to recover from a dishonest Chinese manufacturer a fine.

Example 2
TASK
Company X manufactures its own high-pressure equipment (containers) and receives a promising order from a foreign company for the manufacture of a pressure vessel according to customer documentation. Due to the fact that its own product has been produced in series for quite some time and does not cause any complaints, the competence in the development field of company X is somewhat lost. And the design of the customer is in doubt and clearly requires verification to ensure quality and even simple collection.

RESULT
With our participation, we carried out a detailed analysis of the structure, which showed insufficient thickness of the material, as well as revealed structural errors in the product that impede its collection.

STAGE OF WORKS IN THE OPTIMIZATION OF DESIGNS
Task setting FROM 3-5 DAYS
Comprehensive analysis of technical requirements, regulatory framework, operating conditions and operating modes of the product at the limiting values.

Development of a mathematical model FROM 2-5 DAYS
Setting the environment and boundary conditions FROM 2-3 DAYS
Application of permissible simplifications FROM 2-3 DAYS
Creating a grid FROM 1-2 DAYS
Machine time from day 1
Approximation of results from 2 days
The explanatory note of 1 day
Additional iterations DEPEND ON THE TASK
An integral part of engineering consulting and part of the process of optimization of structures is the process of calculating structures by the finite element method (FEM). FEM - a set of mathematical tools that are able to give characteristics of the behavior of a product or process under various conditions of loads, environments, etc.

FEM analysis allows you to confirm the performance, reduce risks, without resorting to time and financial costs for testing and revision of prototypes.

Calculations can identify weaknesses or confirm the performance of the product at the design stage.

With the help of FEM calculations, it is possible to reduce the costs of production and operation, minimizing risks.

At the output, you will receive an optimized design, a report on your requirements and a set of recommendations for improving product performance based on the analysis.
