| FEA is a software tool for product design which allows the behaviour of a mechanical part to be imitated without having to build a physical prototype. Leslie Consulting works with several FEA software packages allowing a better choice to be made regarding application suitability for the task at hand. | |
 |
COSMOS is an FEA package fully integrated into SolidWorks - our main CAD (computer aided design) program, which gives us the ability to analyse complex 3D shapes. We also use Pro/E Mechanica and Strand7 which are suited to designing large pipe or plate structures with complex component assemblies. |
 |
The most common behaviours we analyse for are stress and modal frequency, but we do have the capabilities to perform buckling, thermal, fatigue, drop test and nonlinear analysis. Please feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help with your product design. |
