Industrial machinery

Late design changes, integration issues, and costly testing slowing down your machine development? Femto Engineering helps machine builders shorten design cycles, improve reliability, and reduce testing costs by using the digital twin and system simulations.

Accelerating innovation in machine development

For over 30 years, Femto Engineering has been a pioneer in simulation-driven product development for machinery. We help companies across Europe solve complex engineering challenges using state-of-the-art CAE and system simulation.

Industrial machinery is becoming increasingly complex due to higher demands for speed, efficiency, maintainability, and automation. Late design changes, integration issues, and limited testing time often lead to rework and delays.

We help machine builders to:

  • Build digital twins that connect mechanical and automation desciplines.
  • Validate machine performance early in development.
  • Reduce development risk and avoid costly rework.
  • Accelerate time to market, improve reliability, and lower testing costs with Siemens Simcenter.

Our services

FEM

FEM analysis (implicit)
• Static: linear (stiffness, strength), non-linear (Material/Geometric non-linearities, creep, failure)
• Dynamics: natural frequencies, frequency response, rotor dynamics, transient loads
• Stability: buckling (global and local)
• Thermal: stationary, transient, thermo-mechanically coupled

High dynamics (explicit)
• Crash, impact, explosion, earthquake
• FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction), DEM (Discrete Element Method)

Other Areas
• Multi-body dynamics; coupled with FEM/DEM
• Manufacturing processes: injection moulding, forming, 3D printing
• Optimisation: topology, topography size and weight
