Simulation & Generative Design

Accelerate innovation with generative design and empower designers with easy-to-use simulation tools

Empower designers and engineers with Simulation

In today’s competitive market, engineers and designers constantly face new challenges within the industry, including reducing costs, decreasing weight and developing innovative product designs faster. As a consequence, companies are now looking to incorporate some form of digital prototyping to help reduce design-to-market lead times.

For your company to remain competitive today and in the future, you need to empower designers and engineers with easy-to-use simulation tools that will help you make better and informed decisions early on.

Symetri has a dedicated team of highly skilled engineers who can provide problem-solving services for most types of mechanical problems: from design and stress analysis of aeronautical equipment to heavy mining machines in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and from the optimisation of cleanrooms for the pharmaceutical industry to cooling of defence-critical equipment and huge transformers in CFD.

Accelerate innovation with generative design

Generative design can drastically reduce design and development times by allowing the designer and engineers to explore a multitude of design scenarios in a short space of time that would otherwise be impossible mainly due to cost and time.

Benefits of generative design include:

Light weighting – Minimise mass and material use while maintaining high-performance standards and engineering constraints.

Performance improvements – Use generative design to help improve and optimise product durability and eliminate areas of weakness.

Part consolidation – Consolidate multiple components into solid parts to maximise the potential of additive manufacturing.

Services that can help you in the simulation and design phases:

Training

Symetri offers training in all Autodesk Simulation products including Nastran, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and CFD to help you get started quickly.

Mentoring

Symetri can help accelerate adoption by working with your specific applications on current projects.

Consultancy

We have extensive experience of delivering simulation projects.

Support

Symetri provides simulation support on Nastran, CFD and Fusion Simulation.
