Capability Cardno has extensive experience in computer based modelling using finite element analysis. We employ the latest software to analyse structures/components of varying geometry, material properties and loads - or a combination of all three. This type of computer modelling is particularly useful in developing new product lines as it can significantly reduce costs associated with prototype tooling and material quantities uses.

Our analytical capability extends to the following:

• Linear elastic stress analysis of structures and components under static loads to optimize material quantities and reduce tooling costs
  
  
• Geometric, material and contact non-linear analysis
  
  
• Analysing the buckling of structures/components
  
  
• Vibration analysis including natural frequency, frequency domain harmonic analysis and time domain spectral analysis
  
• Fully dynamic analysis including shock, impact and drop tests
  
  
• Heat flow analysis including time dependant investigations such as fire modelling

In addition to the analysis work we provide a full design solution and are not limited only to finite element analysis. As such we can cover the whole scope of a project including the application of design standards, computer analysis and the production of engineering drawings and reports.

We also undertake research and development work in the building products industry. We get involved in the development of new products and can provide assistance in carrying out product testing and the production of technical manuals. As part of this we provide on-going specialized product support to our clients as well.
