Solid Modelling and System Design

With increasingly complex exhaust and emissions control systems, the space and packaging constraints are more demanding than ever. The packaging of system components and the exhaust gas flow are critical to system performance, accessibility is required for system maintenance and the space envelope is no bigger whereas the exhaust systems have grown in size, and these are just a few of the design constraints.

Using the latest software packages such as Catia v5 and v4, ProEngineer and Solid Works we are able to design the exhaust system to fit the available space envelope while meeting the necessary design constraints and optimising its performance, and can exchange 3-D models with customers to ensure accuracy and speed the design process. We can model design performance using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and computation fluid dynamics and then carry the design through to verification and testing if required.
