Engineering calculation and simulation for industry and automotive
Virtual simulation for verifying mechanical components
We carry out virtual verification of the physical behaviour of products and components through rigorous calculation and simulation work. We use dedicated software for finite element analysis (FEM or FEA) and replicate mechanical processes to mirror real-world conditions. This method makes it possible to anticipate how the structure will respond under load. Preventive validation optimises production and delivers maximum safety in the finished product.
What Enginext’s service includes
We guide the client from the initial check through to any corrections to the part. We tailor the work to the real needs of each project.
Structural verification and analysis
We analyse the model of the mechanical component by applying virtual loads to assess its strength. The test result clearly shows whether the component passes and provides objective data to guide any corrections.
Fine-tuning and iteration
If the outcome is negative, we can simply deliver the results or suggest the structural changes required through an iterative process. This second stage falls within our mechanical engineering service (link to Mechanical engineering), where each correction is followed by a fresh round of calculations to confirm the solution is valid.
Project coordination
For the development of complete vehicles or complex systems, we coordinate the different engineering phases through a structured project management service. This approach keeps the various work streams in proper alignment and gives full control over timelines.
Engineering calculation and simulation: areas of application
Our analyses focus on solid and structural components, working across two main sectors:
Automotive and agricultural machinery
We examine critical components such as crankshafts, pistons and axles. We also verify the regulatory compliance of mandatory safety devices, such as seatbelts.
Industrial sector
We test the integrity of hydraulic systems, gas pipelines and components subject to technical requirements.
Everything with a single
point of contact
We act as a strategic partner to take complex technical burdens off your shoulders. From the moment we receive the 3D files and briefs, we liaise directly with the client’s engineering team to examine issues and agree on changes together, keeping the workflow smooth and focused.
Who we work with
The service is aimed at companies that need to validate their components before production or address issues during the build.
Industrial and automotive companies
Manufacturers of vehicles, agricultural machinery and mechanical components.
Small and medium-sized enterprises
Local businesses and entrepreneurs that need high-level technical expertise on an outsourced basis to optimise production processes and fill the gap left by not having an in-house engineering department.
Organisations subject to safety constraints
Companies dealing with strict regulatory requirements that need specialist calculations or technical reports to sign off the production of a component.
Why choose Enginext
Frequently
asked questions
How much does the calculation service cost?
Pricing depends on the complexity of the work: a simple calculation may take just a few hours, while verifying a complex system can take the team several weeks. For this reason, we provide a tailored quote for every project.
How long does it take?
Timelines vary based on the specifics of each project and depend on current workload, as well as any need to run iterative calculation cycles to correct a faulty component.
When is the best time to do it?
The ideal moment is always the early design phase, since running the analysis before production prevents errors and streamlines processes. While companies often request it once production is already under way to meet sudden regulatory requirements, acting preventively remains the most cost-effective and safest option.
How do you work with my engineering team?
The relationship is direct and collaborative: the client provides the brief, we run the simulation and deliver the results. We stay in constant contact with the engineering team to resolve any issues that emerge during testing.
What’s needed to start a structural analysis?
We ask for a clear definition of the task, 3D files in native or generic formats (such as STEP files), the regulatory references to comply with, the magnitude of the loads to apply and the certificates for the materials used.
