Advanced Computational and Engineering Services couples a wide range of computational methods with engineering knowledge to increase the productivity of technology development. Reduced design cycles, improved prototypes, faster product assembly, and overall higher performance and reliability provide significant time and cost savings.

Among other techniques we use conventional finite element analysis (FEM), element-free Galerkin (EFG) and smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) methods to analyze vehicle structures, medical devices, pressure vessels, piping systems, and novel manufacturing processes and products.

Typical projects at ACES include the analysis and simulation of non-linear stress, electromagnetic forces, fluid-structure interactions, impacts and explosions, static and dynamic fracture, elastic and inelastic buckling, contact, material and geometric non-linearity, and temperature dependent effects.

Staff members are skilled in using numerous analysis codes, from COMSOL Multiphysics to other commercial analysis packages, including ABAQUS, ANSYS, DYNA-3D, NASTRAN, CFX, and Fluent.

Advanced computational analysis predicts the effects of interactive phenomena on the design of your product or process.
