Electronic and electrical devices need to perform to specification within the end user’s environment while meeting lifetime requirements. Our combined simulation and reliability engineering solutions, including physics of failure, help meet this challenge, from dynamic, thermal and electromagnetic simulation to standards-based, Weibull and HALT analysis.
We have the simulation experience and industry-focused software solutions to address the specific needs of the electronics industry. Typical projects involving ANSYS software include:
Structural Analysis of impact, drop testing, acceleration and PSD / random vibration loading
PSD dynamic response analysis of an electronics cabinet
Structural analysis of light housing (Courtesy: Victor Lighting)
Our ReliaSoft reliability software and services are used widely within the specification, design and testing of electronic and electrical equipment. We are familiar with standards such as MIL-HDBK-217F, Bellcore/Telecordia and FIDES. Recent project examples include:
Military runway landing light assessed to MIL-HDBK-217
Reliability Gap analysis, life data analysis and Design for Reliability review for LED lighting
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability & Safety (RAMS) analysis of imaging radiometer for earth observation satellite
Design FMEA, parts count prediction, RAMS analysis and accelerated life testing (ALT) on LED based train signalling system
Fault tree analysis on active roll control system
Life data analysis of high performance air flow sensors
FMECA and standard based reliability predictions for aircraft control system
Among other services, we provide reliability consulting support to improve the efficiency of ‘burn in’ activities and host focused training courses addressing the management and improvement of electronic systems.
Reliability Project Undertaken (Courtesy: Pace plc)
Through our advanced manufacturing simulation solutions, including Moldex3D and DEFORM, we have helped companies improve the packaging of their electronic equipment involving metallic, composite and plastic materials.
This project was for a detector system designed & manufactured by Photek Ltd. to be part of an orbiting satellite. We had to meet stringent vibration & shock requirements which meant producing a test fixture to mount on our vibration test machine... We submitted our design to Wilde who supplied us with data showing several areas which required strengthening in order to meet the specification. During this process, Wilde maintained good communication... to ensure that their suggestions were in line with our requirements. Without this input from Wilde, it is likely that our testing would have been compromised. After design modification, the fixture was made & testing completed to our customer’s satisfaction.

Wilde Analysis Ltd provided a prompt and effective solution to an analytical challenge we had to resolve quickly. Following their valuable input, we were able to move forward successfully with our project.
CommScope Technologies UK
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.
Siemens Subsea
A flexible approach to training, was able to provide a bespoke course based on existing material to our needs.
Delphi Diesel Systems
Good tailor-made course conducted at our pace….Wilde course is excellently presented and the tutor was very knowledgeable.
Hubbell
I currently use Weibull++, BlockSim & Lambda Predict and am very pleased with the software. I have been an every day user of alternative suppliers’ reliability software and found ReliaSoft to be the most comprehensive and user friendly.
Seagate Systems UK
The course should be a requirement for anyone beginning plastics design. The basic principals of good design were clearly outlined, as well as an excellent introduction to the capabilities of Moldflow. Everything was explained clearly and comprehensively and I learned a lot... Good mix of theory and practical. Shown very many features and have good manuals to help me through in future.

ReliaSoft BlockSim is powerful and complex. Great to have the phone support for real life applications of software. Looking forward to influence business decisions based on accurate modeling!
Xerox
Excellent introduction into Reliability Engineering.
Ultra Electronics Controls
Quality product, quality tutor – now need to get back to the office and try this software out!
AVX Ltd
As a new user of ANSYS, I found the course and information very useful and has given me a great starting position to conduct basic analysis work.
Commscope

Xyratex Storage Systems
Wilde quickly understood the scope of the analysis & defined precisely the engineering information that would be required....... The product design was modified on the basis of the analysis. Samples subsequently passed rigorous environmental testing including vibration & drop testing before the design was released for high volume production.…pleased with the time Wilde take to understand our requirements …used them on a number of projects.
Plextek
Working with Wilde Analysis is a pleasure. They have the requisite skill, expertise and experience to contribute to the development of the solution. They are able to contribute at the research and development level and at the engineering design level, which is an important capability. As a business we have found them to be professional in their presentation and approach at all times.
Waters UK
A very useful and powerful [Moldflow] tool that should reduce the end-to-end design cycle.
Pace plc
Outstanding software. I’ve been trying to force reliability methods into other software. It’s a relief to use a system specifically designed for reliability.
