Femto Engineering’s early analysis of product designs can save a lot of time and money. Before even a prototype is made, the use of our sophisticated computer tools allows designs to be evaluated and optimised with respect to their functional specification.

In engineering practice, thorough analysis is usually reserved for major components with clearly identifiable risks. Other components are usually analysed in the final stage of the product development. In such traditional ‘build-test-fail’ cycles, a lot of money, time and effort is spent modifying designs, changing drawings and updating documentation.

The time and cost needed to correct problems increases enormously with each successive step of the product development cycle: conceptual design, detailed design, prototyping, testing and production. Moving product analysis to the fore, however, compresses the product development cycle, because it changes the moment at which errors are found and the design is refined. Femto Engineering offers services in the following areas of analysis:

  • Linear & Advanced Nonlinear structural analysis
    -Strength & Stiffness assessments
    -Nonlinear analysis, inlcuding contact
    -Buckling and stability analyses
    -Modal & Dynamic Response analysis
    -Impact analysis (both implicit & explicit)
    -Fatigue & Failure analysis


  • Femap customization
    -Customized user interface using the Femap Application Programmer's Interface (API).
    -Development of parametric modelling and analysis sequences
    -Integation of FEA with Microsoft Excell
    -Combining various rules and regulations with FEA post-processing.

  • Design and optimisation
    -Optimisation with respect to use of material
    -Optimisation with respect to loading conditions
    -Optimisation with respect to structural stability

  • Conceptual designs
    -Concept development for load carrying products and constructions
    -Mechanical systems development

  • Consultancy and second opinion
    -Advice on equipment handling
    -Choice of material
    -Evaluation of calculation procedures
    -Analysis procedures according to engineering standards
