Design Validation

Validation of designs using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is one of the core functions in design cycle.

Butler has vast experience at validating design. This includes:

• Stress validation for margin of safety and component sizing
• Component Layout validation to verify offset and loft surfaces or interface points (through various methods)
• Checking engineering design with tolerance stack-up analysis, drafting review, GD&T, Assembly check, Interference validation
• Internal reviews to check deliverables against engineering requirements

Butler provides value to customers through the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Butler’s expertise includes:

• Simulation of real-life situations
• Prediction of services life
• Vibration prediction and prevention
• Correlation to test results
• Optimization based on shape, sensitivity, fatigue and fracture analysis and
• kinematic analysis
