Simulation of plastic part behaviour
Ingeniería virtual: valida sin fabricar, decide con datos
How much does it cost you when a prototype fails? Reduce development cycles, eliminate errors before manufacturing the first mould, and bring your product to market faster through virtual engineering and simulation.
We use the most advanced simulation tools on the market — NX, Moldex and Ludovic — so you can be confident that your design performs as intended before investing in tooling and production. Discover our solutions:
Product Simulation: Finite Element Structural Analysis (FEA)
Will your part withstand real operating loads?
- Linear Structural Analysis
Ideal for rigid or semi-rigid components operating within the elastic range. Identification of critical areas and evaluation up to the plasticity limit. - Non-Linear Structural Analysis
Ideal for flexible materials, foams, or contact-based assemblies where linear simulation is insufficient. This analysis evaluates the real behaviour of the component from deformation through to failure, including interactions between parts.
How does your component respond to impact, heat or fatigue?
- Impact & Drop Simulation
Predicts the structural behaviour of your part under impacts, free-fall drops, or object collisions. Detect potential failure points before they occur in real-world conditions. - Thermal Analysis
Evaluates the response of plastic components to heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. Particularly useful for the design of heat sinks and components exposed to thermal sources. - Thermo-Structural Simulation
Combines thermal and mechanical effects to assess the real behaviour of parts subjected simultaneously to thermal and structural loads. Prevent failures caused by differential expansion or temperature-induced mechanical degradation.
Are you using more raw material than necessary?
We redesign your component geometry so that it meets the exact mechanical requirements while removing unnecessary material. The result: lighter parts, lower material costs, and designs optimised for industrial manufacturing processes — injection moulding, additive manufacturing, or machining — from the outset.
- Guaranteed compliance with mechanical requirements
- Direct raw material savings → reduced cost per part
- Manufacturable geometries, not just simulation-optimised concepts
Composite Material Simulation
Do you work with laminates or fibre-reinforced materials?
We perform finite element analysis of composite structures, evaluating structural behaviour layer by layer. This enables efficient laminate design by optimising fibre orientation and layer count to achieve maximum mechanical performance with minimum weight.
| Benefit | What It Means for Your Project |
|---|---|
| Cost Reduction | Fewer physical prototypes and fewer mould iterations |
| Faster Time-to-Market | Faster decision-making based on data rather than assumptions |
| Quality Assurance | Identification of critical points, fatigue zones, and potential failures before mass production |
| Material Efficiency | Optimised geometries that reduce raw material consumption without compromising performance |
| Virtual Validation (Digital Twin) | Your product is digitally created and tested before physical production begins |
