CAE tools gives an edge to any design concept by providing an insight which otherwise would not be possible or will be very costly. CAE Professionals in EES work closely with design & development engineers to give recommendations that not only optimize the cost, weight or the overall design but are optimized for production process as well.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
FEA is used to predict the behaviour of components / parts under various real time loading conditions. It provides an insight into the design thereby providing a chance to FEA engineer to suggest the modifications. EES provides FEA services for:
- Mechanical Analysis / Structural Design of components
- Optimization of components by analysing Strain Energy Distribution, Stress & Deflection.
- Design of rotary components for combined bending & torsion like shafts
- Buckling Analysis
- Vibration Analysis
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
CFD is used to simulate flow of gases and liquids, heat and mass transfer, moving bodies, multiphase physics, chemical reaction, fluid-structure interaction and acoustics through computer modelling. CFD gives a ‘virtual prototype’ of the system or device by providing images and result data which predict the performance of that design. It gives an insight into even those phenomena which would not otherwise be visible.
- Analysis of flow of fluids through components for design improvement
- Prediction of vapour & liquid interaction in the process vessels
- Prediction of velocity gradients, flow distribution, dead zones & power consumption for agitators in mixing tanks & mechanical circulators EES in pans
- Used to predict forces acting on the blades of an impeller / agitator, which can be further be used for FEA of blades
- Flow prediction/ analysis of components like spray pattern of spray nozzles, head loss prediction through customized components like NRV etc.
