Finite Element Analysis & Rapid Prototyping

Image-based meshing is allowing for robust and accurate meshing of objects which are obtained via volume scanning modalities (such as MRI, CT and XMT). These approaches are valuable tools for reconstructing the geometry of complex objects, and effectively enable new aspects of structural mechanics and fluid dynamics to be investigated.

Simpleware Software is being used by researchers across the Material Engineering sectors. Our software enables you to go straight from scan to detailed 3D mesh in a few minutes.

Applications in Materials Research include:

• Characterization of Mechanical and Thermal Performance
• Next Generation of Materials - Discovery and Optimisation
• Fatigue Mechanisms & Damage Evaluation
• Ceramic Matrix Composites - Design and Analysis
• Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) & Degradation of Materials
• Micro / Nanostructures: Characterization and Interface Phenomena
• Advanced Alloys & Materials Processing / Manufacturing
