Bennett Associates employ a range of advanced technologies in the design and analysis of complex engineering concepts. Such tools allow Bennett Associates’ engineers to turn these concepts into technically viable solutions.
Continual investment in hardware and software helps to maintain the company's standing as a design house with an international reputation for mechanical and structural design.
Finite Element Analysis
A computational technique that allows designers to test concepts by means of computer generated models. The models allow engineers to explore areas such as stress levels, thermal gradients or fluid flow regimes under a wide variety of load conditions and analysis types. In turn the model results enable detailed evaluation and reporting regarding the structural integrity of structures or mechanisms.
Computer Aided Design
Design software such as CATIA and Solidworks allows designs to be generated in 3 dimensional space allowing the client and engineer to gain a full understanding of any constraints. These may include space, assembly or maintenance issues thereby minimising the factors that are sometimes not evident when designing in 2D.
The 3 dimensional models may then be used to generate presentations and manufacturing drawings. Direct interfaces within the software allow finite element calculations to be performed or exported to ANSYS for more advanced finite element techniques.
For general drafting Bennett Associates use AutoCAD which is generally acknowledged as the program of choice.
