Design Simulation

“Wilde Analysis have been working with us over several years in assessing fatigue requirements for a wide range of exhaust and after treatment system applications. The hallmark of my relationship with Wilde Analysis over the past two years has been based on the clarity in thought, technical know how and the willingness to take on complex problems.  Technical expertise, project planning, time management and problem solving skills have been the core pillars of the Wilde Engineering Services Team. In addition to providing engineering services to Eminox, Wilde also are also our software providers (ANSYS), and have actively led discussions around developments within the software to show how some of these could enhance our day-to-day FE requirements. These sessions have been extremely productive in helping shape the strategy for the development of FEA within Eminox – it has helped me immensely to review the direction for virtual analysis led design within Eminox. Ours has been a partnership that has grown in strength and maturity and promises to follow that trend moving forward.”

Wilde gave us exactly what we were looking for. Their consultancy service confirmed some of the assumptions we were making and added value to the report to our client. It also increased our level of confidence in the recommendations we made to our client.

ANSYS AIM allowed UEL to run multiphysics analysis of heat transfer for a new engine where testing of prototypes would usually be the method used. The engine is still in early stages but dozens of analyses have been run, steering the project in its direction. What AIM offered over other platforms was a relatively cheap but powerful solver which is very intuitive. The addition of finning to the engine housing is currently set to reduce the maximum housing temperature by up to 51% and not a single prototype has been manufactured yet.

Wilde’s integrated scope of material testing, material modelling and model validation provides an excellent base for our FE analysis, allowing our in-house analysis team to focus on providing high-quality analysis of our products.
