Many mechanical design projects require some analysis work to ensure predictable design intent results. In addition, some clients are in need of analysis work to better understand the feasibility of a design before embarking upon the actual design of the product. Precision Mechanical Design has extensive experience with the following types of analysis:
- Stress / Strain Analysis
- Finite Element Analysis
- Dynamics
- Dynamic Modeling of Mechanical Systems
- (a typical example would be mathematically modeling the reflected intertias of various components of a machine as felt by the motors of the system to determine motor requirements)
- Magnetic Analysis (including equivalent magnetic circuit analysis)
- Shrink fits of cylindrical components
- Fatigue Analysis (i.e. life)
- Motor Selection
Precision Mechanical Design will often perform what we like to refer to as a "Bachelor's degree level of analysis". That is, analysis using commonly accepted forms for mathematically modelling engineering situations. These are typically represented well by first-order-approximation mathematics or basic analysis software. In addition, for extremely critical analysis results, PMD can call upon resources with high-level specialties in various areas of mechanical / magnetic analysis, with access to very sophisticated analysis software (such as Ansys for mechanical analysis, SPEED for motor design, etc.).
