Finite Element Analysis
In the ongoing effort to shorten product development time, clients have requested our assistance in providing both FEA analysis as well as technical performance data to be utilized in FEA models. Smithers has shown the ability to generate relevant laboratory viscoelastic data as well as thermo-plastic data to be utilized in several product performance FEA models. Virtual prototyping and injection molding simulation are two examples of the types of FEA projects we have completed.
