Rota Design undertakes structural analysis of machine structural elements by hand calculations, software tools and Finite Element Analysis (FEA / FEM). These can be upon 2D or 3D models.
FEA assists prediction of failure due to unknown strains and stresses in a complex loaded system. It indicates to the design engineer areas of high theoretical strains and stress within the structure.
This quality assured approach to design verification is far superior in terms of the costs which may accrue if each structure or product was physically manufactured and tested.
