MECAL has extensive knowledge of predictive modeling that is used both for in house product development and to support our customer's R&D. We use combinations of methods, such as FEM and CFD, to analyze structural dynamics, statics, magnetics and flow and thermal aspects of any design. In this way we predict the performance of new products in the situations in which they will be used. This type of predictive modeling in our experience is an essential method to shorten time to market of high tech products.
