How to Meet Automotive, Military and Aerospace Specifications
Your product is competitive in both cost and performance. It has potential
in the huge automotive, military and aerospace markets, but you are hesitant.
These markets require all products to meet an array of unfamiliar qualification
specifications, which go far beyond form, fit and function. How can you
show that your product meets?
- 20g shock
- Random Vibration
- Thermal Shock
- Crash Loads
- Resonance Frequency Limits
- Low Cycle Fatigue
Etc…
One way is to spend a fortune and have your product tested. The other much
less expensive option is to have a finite element analysis performed on
your product. One of the benefits of today's computer power is the ability
to simulate any product under all kinds of loadings. Ford, Lockheed and
Boeing no longer test all of the parts of their products. They depend upon
finite element analyses to show whether a part meets or fails a qualification
specification. They use analysis because it is accurate and cheap. So should
you.
Contact an engineering services company that specializes in finite element
analysis and take the steps required to get your product into the higher
margin markets. The right engineering services company will have engineers
that are expert at simulating products under qualification loads. They will
know exactly what needs to be done for your product to meet the qualification
specifications.
Typically a single phone call can have one or more engineers redirected
to your project within a week. The engineer will quickly become familiar
with your project and become an extension of your existing design team.
The engineer will use the service company's computer and software assets.
You will not have to purchase these costly assets. Communication via e-mail,
phone and fax eliminates the necessity of having someone work continuously
at your site.
Most importantly, your business will be set to expand with your product
poised to enter new markets.
