Customised
Services
Would you like to entrust us with a study by mechanical, climatic or combined simulation? We can perform the following services on your equipment:
- Verification and validation of the mechanical strength of equipment and interfaces subjected to a static, vibratory, seismic environment
- Prediction of the lifespan of a material according to the Eurocodes
- Identification by modal correlation
- Numerical validation of test interfaces
- Modal correlation between the analytical and measured modes (calculation of MAC)
- Digital model registration between analytical and measured modes (Moore Penrose Method, Bayesian Method)
- Digital validation of test tools
- Calculation of the transferred spectra (synthesis of a temporal accelerogram, transient calculation in modal superposition, calculation of the response spectrum)
- Quasi-static accelerations on antenna
- Linear and nonlinear mechanics
- Fatigue and endurance calculations
- Static and dynamic mechanics (vibrations / shocks)
- Frequency and / or time calculations
Tools for calculation:
- FEM software: ANSYS Mechanical APDL / WORKBENCH software
- Correlation and recalibration software for calculations / tests: FEMTools (DDS)
- Matlab
Multiple
Analysis
Are you looking for a service provider for an electromagnetic simulation study? We suggest that you perform several analyses on your equipment and systems:
Electromagnetic analysis - lightning, Strong Fields, IEMN and CEM
- Optimization of test set-ups
- Determination of field, current and voltage stresses
- Parametric analysis of protections on structures and cabling
- Electromagnetic analysis - positioning of antennas on carrier
- Carrier modeling
- Study of each isolated antenna and on carrier
- Radiation patterns, Gain, S11
- DRAM / DREP study
Comparison of simulations / measurements
- Gap analysis
- Proposal for a calculation methodology (worst case or parametric approach)
- Extraction of standardised data with control of margins
Simulations of environmental nuisances (rail, naval, etc.)
- Radiation mapping
Types of calculations for electromagnetic simulations
- Time codes → processing of the entire frequency band in a single calculation
- Lightning / HIRF / IEMN frequency exploration: [10Hz - 1GHz]
- Antenna radiation (up to 10 GHz)
- Carrying out post-processing adapted to the analyzes (signal processing, standardised waveforms, etc.)
- Development of a digital model for a specific need
Tools: calculation codes
- CST MWS + GPU Accelerator (Dassault Systems): 3D time and frequency solvers, Cables Studio, Design Studio (1D)
- GORF3D (CEA Gramat): Maxwell 3D time solver
- Calculation machine with GPU card
