Part and assembly
simulations

Simulation allows validating quickly and precisely the behavior of composite parts and assemblies for multiple load cases.

  • Industrial design and ergonomics
  • Design and detail drawing
  • Simulation of manufacturing processes
  • Structural analysis (stress, deformation, impact)
  • Topometric optimization (targeting laminate sequence and thickness)
  • Topological optimization (targeting geometry)
  • Topographic optimization (targeting ply shape)

Prototyping
and testing

The prototyping of composite parts aims to provide functional parts for physical testing without resorting to expensive industrial processes.

With our expertise, make your dreamed ideas real!

The numerical simulation combined with the expertise in prototyping of composite parts makes it possible to quickly converge towards the best possible design.
