Stress FEA (Structural): model the mechanical stresses in a system that is under load (either linear or non-linear and either due to a static load or a transient one)

Thermal FEA: model the flow of heat through a system (either steady state or transient and either linear or non-linear)

Fatigue Analysis of failures due to the stresses of repeated loading

Creep Analysis of permanent deformation that accumulates while the load is applied

Normal Modes Analysis: determine the natural frequencies

Buckling analysis: predict the load that causes buckling

Transient Response: the response of a system to transient or time varying inputs. For example simulating a drop test or an earthquake.

Fluid flow (CFD): Computational fluid dynamics calculates transient and steady state fluid flows. This could be a gas, a liquid, or multiple phases including free surfaces.

Multiphysics Analysis: modeling a system that is in operation with many physical phenomena occurring. For example modeling simultaneous fluid flow and heat flow, or modeling fluid-solid interactions (FSI), or modeling thermally-induced transient stresses.

Kinematic and Dynamic Event Simulation: modeling a system that is in motion or otherwise operating as intended.

Our capabilities include: Finite Element Analysis (FEA: stress, thermal, and dynamic; linear and non-linear), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), motion simulation and animation. If you are an entrepreneur wondering if your idea can work, or a large corporation that must sub-contract analysis, ARA Engineering, Inc. will provide the answers you need.

One company that has expertise in product design as well as engineering analysis can best integrate the entire system into a successful device.
