Numerical simulation
Finite element analysis
Finite element analysis is used to numerically validate designs made on 3D modelers such as SolidWorks and Inventor. It is intended to represent the mechanics of solids, going as far as plasticization and rupture of parts.

Computational fluid dynamics
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to model the physical behavior of liquids and gases.
​
Project examples
​
- Aerodynamic study

- Wind study
Discrete elements method
The simulation of discrete elements (DEM) allows to model the solid particles. It makes it possible to reproduce complex conveying systems. Interaction with mobile devices is supported by this type of model.
