Services

Linear Static Analysis

As part of our integrated virtual product engineering services, we offer a linear static analysis as part of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In this process, scaled models undergo analysis by applying linear proportions through advanced engineering simulation services. Essentially, if a structure exhibits satisfactory performance at a reduced scale, employing linear proportions should ensure that the full-scale counterpart of the structure performs in precisely the same manner as the scaled-down version using digital twin services.

Key Offerings:
  • G Load Analysis
  • Welded Joints

Nonlinear Analysis

Nonlinear analysis comprehends intricate structural dynamics, encompassing substantial displacements, material nonlinearity, and sophisticated contact interactions. Thus, providing a precise understanding of how your product will perform in real-world scenarios through virtual prototyping techniques.
These analyses seamlessly integrate into a broader simulation ecosystem, spanning linear, vibrations, acoustics, thermal, fatigue, and Multiphysics simulations using our engineering simulation services. As a result, you can foresee and avert part failures and reduce the need for expensive physical testing or repetitive product redesigns through digital product engineering. Thus, it can expedite your product-to-market timeline.

Key Offerings:
  • Lifting analysis
  • Bolted joint analysis

Fatigue/Durability

ARi’s virtual product engineering services employ sophisticated fatigue analysis techniques to predict how a product will respond to cyclic loading, stress, and strain over its intended lifespan. The durability of a product is assessed by subjecting it to virtual tests that replicate diverse environmental conditions, usage patterns, and external forces through digital twin services. We use advanced algorithms to focus on material behavior modelling and fatigue life prediction methodologies in our digital product engineering approach.
The stress time history is commonly generated through one of two methods—either by amalgamating load histories with static stresses from a unit load in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or by applying load time histories to the FEA in a transient dynamic analysis using virtual prototyping.

Key Offerings:
  • Stress-Life approach
  • Vibration fatigue

Dynamic Analysis

Dynamic analysis is a crucial part of virtual product engineering services that focuses on understanding how a product or structure responds to dynamic forces, vibrations, and varying loads. This analytical approach employs several specialized techniques to simulate real-world conditions and assess the dynamic behavior of your product through engineering simulation services.
Frequency response analysis and PSD (Power-spectral-density) analysis help our engineers optimize designs to withstand a range of dynamic inputs, enhancing your product’s overall performance and reliability using digital product engineering methodologies. Transient dynamic analysis allows for the simulation of real-world scenarios and predicts and addresses issues related to impact, sudden accelerations, and other dynamic events through virtual prototyping.

Key Offerings:
  • Modal analysis
  • Frequency response analysis
  • Power-spectral-density (PSD) analysis
  • Transient Dynamic Analysis

Explicit Dynamic Analysis

Understanding the resilience of your products in scenarios like free falls is essential to meet all the safety and performance objectives. When you choose a digital engineering service, the team evaluates your product design in complex, high-speed scenarios using a simulation approach called explicit dynamic analysis through virtual product engineering services.
It’s a time integration method tailored for dynamic simulations where speed plays a critical role — abrupt changes, high-speed impacts, applied loads, etc., utilizing advanced engineering simulation services.

Key Offerings:
  • ROPS (Roll-Overprotective Structures)
  • FOPS (Falling-Object Protective Structures)
  • Crash / Rollover analysis
  • Impact Analysis
