Design, Design Audit, Design Upgrade & Specifications
Depending on project needs, Ascribe Engineering would utilise Australian and International codes and guidelines and a range of tools from first principle design assessment (hand calculations), Computer Aided Design and Finite Element analysis techniques.
Inclusive of these capabilities is the cross-development of loads and load cases. At Ascribe Engineering, we recommend the verification of loads and analyses via field tests and measurements wherever necessary.
- Linear and non-linear, static & dynamic
- Contact analysis, including bolt pretension
- Heat transfer
- Buckling
- Modal analysis and forced response
- Fatigue and damage index
- Steady state and transient flows
- Forced and natural convection
- Couple structural and fluid simulation
- Mixed flow
- 2D and 3D parametric
- Engineering and fabrication drawings
- FEA and CFD model development
