Deep Domain Knowledge Across Critical Sectors
Every industry has its own standards, failure modes, and regulatory requirements. We bring sector-specific simulation expertise to every engagement — not just generic CAE capability.
Automotive
From concept to homologation — virtual validation for the full vehicle development cycle.
The automotive industry demands the highest levels of simulation fidelity. From early-stage concept validation to regulatory homologation, we support OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across the full vehicle development cycle — helping reduce physical testing costs and compress development timelines.
Relevant Standards
Simulation Applications

- Body-in-white structural analysis
- Powertrain thermal management
- NVH — modal, harmonic, and acoustic analysis
- Fatigue and durability — road load data analysis
- Lightweighting — topology and shape optimisation
- EV battery thermal management and structural protection
- Suspension and steering dynamics
Aerospace
Simulation for flight-critical structures and systems.
Aerospace applications demand the highest levels of analytical rigour. We provide structural, thermal, and dynamic simulation for airframe structures, propulsion systems, and flight-critical components — supporting design substantiation and regulatory compliance.
Relevant Standards

Defence
Survivability and structural analysis for mission-critical systems.
Defence applications require simulation of extreme loading conditions — blast, ballistic impact, and high-rate dynamic events — that are impossible or prohibitively dangerous to replicate physically. We provide the analytical capability to design and validate survivable systems.
Relevant Standards
Simulation Applications
- Blast and explosion simulation
- Ballistic impact and penetration analysis
- Armoured vehicle structural protection
- Shock and vibration analysis to DEF STAN
- Structural survivability assessment
- Weapon system structural analysis
Energy
Simulation for oil and gas, nuclear, and renewable energy systems.
Energy sector components operate under extreme pressures, temperatures, and cyclic loading conditions. We provide structural, thermal, and CFD simulation for pressure vessels, pipelines, turbines, and renewable energy structures — supporting design, life extension, and regulatory compliance.
Relevant Standards
Simulation Applications
- Pressure vessel and piping analysis (ASME, PD5500)
- Turbine blade structural and thermal analysis
- Pipeline integrity and fatigue assessment
- Offshore structure analysis
- Wind turbine structural and fatigue analysis
- Heat exchanger thermal and flow analysis
- Nuclear component structural qualification
Manufacturing
Process simulation and tooling analysis for production efficiency.
Manufacturing simulation reduces tooling costs, improves process yields, and accelerates production ramp-up. We model forming, casting, welding, and assembly processes — identifying issues before tooling is committed and production begins.
Relevant Standards
Simulation Applications
- Sheet metal forming and springback analysis
- Casting and solidification simulation
- Welding distortion and residual stress analysis
- Assembly and press-fit analysis
- Tooling and fixture structural analysis
- Additive manufacturing process simulation
Industrial Equipment
Structural and dynamic analysis for heavy machinery and industrial systems.
Industrial equipment must operate reliably under demanding conditions over long service lives. We provide structural, fatigue, and dynamic simulation for heavy machinery, conveyor systems, lifting equipment, and industrial structures — supporting design, life assessment, and regulatory compliance.
Relevant Standards
Simulation Applications
- Heavy machinery structural analysis
- Conveyor and material handling system simulation
- Lifting equipment and crane structural analysis
- Pressure equipment design and assessment
- Rotating machinery dynamics and vibration
- Industrial structure fatigue and life assessment
