To address the ever growing challenges faced by major mechanical industries, EikoSim works hand in hand with partners and customers to identify pain points and to provide cutting-edge solutions for validation processes.
By industry
Aerospace & Defense
Producing mature technology in a limited time while reducing development risks is a major challenge for the Aeronautics, Spatial and Defense industries. The tools provided by EikoSim are continuously adapted to take advantage of the most data and to reduce the number of physical tests.
By application
Material testing
Material characterization is the foundation of any reliable FEA model. Yet in most workflows, there's a significant gap between what's measured in a test and what goes into the simulation: stress-strain curves from a handful of gauges, averaged over large regions, fitted to a constitutive law that may not capture the actual local behavior of the material.
Crack propagation
Crack propagation is one of the most demanding validation challenges in structural engineering. Whether you're working on composite materials, metallic structures, or bonded joints, understanding *where* a crack initiates, *how* it propagates, and *why* your simulation diverges from reality requires full-field measurement data — not just a handful of strain gauges.
Dynamics
Dynamic testing sits at the intersection of what's hardest to simulate and hardest to measure. Whether you're running an impact test on a composite panel, characterising the modal response of a complex assembly, or validating an explicit FEA model against a real crash event, the challenge is the same: the physics happens fast, the deformation fields are spatially complex, and a handful of accelerometers or strain gauges will never tell the full story.
