Complex analysis research

Rockatek’s consultants have a broad range of experience solving complex engineering issues through appropriate analysis methods. In today’s modern world the merits of a thorough understanding of the problem and some expectations of a solution are often overlooked. It is far too easy to load 3D CAD models into FEA packages and attribute a high level of confidence to any solution.

​

We utilise in-house Finite Element software packages, including ANSYS Multiphysics and Autodesk Inventor Nastran. Our engineers endeavour to break down complex problems into simplified representations, applying a first principles approach wherever possible. We address technically challenging areas by conducting failure mode diagnosis, design optimisation, stress and strain refinement, and fatigue life improvement.

​

Rockatek works extensively in FEA packages but our analysts and engineers will always break a problem down to a simplified representation and apply first principles engineering wherever possible. This ensures that the problem is fully understood by our engineers and the customer but also gives our analysts guidance on appropriate simulation techniques and FEA methods no matter how complex the part or assembly.

​

Our engineers have experience working within the requirements of a broad range of design standards such as PED 2014/68/EU, ATEX 2014/34/EU, API Spec 7, AMS-2430, BS 970, ASME BPVC, NACE, ISO 15614 Part 1, BS 888:2013.
