Simulating Reality
Our analysis driven design approach to the engineering design process produces
optimised solutions that minimise cost and maximise service life.
Engineering Design
Analysis driven design solutions that minimise capital and operating costs and maximise service life.
Our unique approach to the engineering design process uses analysis at every stage to improve quality and efficiency. Our services are applicable to all phases of engineering projects, from concept development and preliminary design to detailed engineering.
Advanced Simulation
Leading edge engineering analysis accurately visualises and quantifies problems leading to the development of optimised solutions.
We specialise in engineering analysis services, including finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discrete element modelling (DEM) and pipe stress/flow analysis simulation methods, coupled with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques.
Vibration & Fatigue Analysis
Correlating measurement with virtual testing allows vibration issues to be identified and fatigue life to be determined.
We combine finite element analysis (FEA) based structural dynamics with accelerometer measurement and deterministic/stochastic fatigue analysis methods to mitigate resonance issues and determine remaining life of equipment.
Fracture Mechanics
Combining fracture mechanics theory and simulation with measurement allows accurate prediction of crack growth in critical components.
Our fracture mechanics capabilities extend to critical crack length determination and crack growth rate prediction, applying relevant standards/codes and finite element analysis (FEA) with correlated test data.
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Root cause analysis of failures in equipment allows solutions to be developed that mitigate future issues.
We apply advanced simulation methods in combination with observed failure modes and measured data to determine and replicate root cause failures of equipment and components and to test proposed design modifications to prevent recurrences.
Design Verification
Combining engineering analysis with broad industry experience to verify compliance of designs.
We utilise a range of engineering analysis techniques to review designs and to verify their compliance and fitness for purpose in accordance with relevant standards/codes and project specific requirements.
We’ve got your needs covered at every stage of the engineering design process.
Identify the problem that
needs to be solved, perform
preliminary research, and
establish criteria and
constraints that the solution
must meet
Perform a feasibility (predesign or
desktop) study
to explore different design
solutions to the problem
and to determine if the
proposed solutions are
practical, feasible and
achievable within timeline
and budget constraints.
Develop a range of possible
design solutions and
evaluate and compare them
against the established
design criteria and
constraints to select the
most viable option.
Perform preliminary design and
engineering assessment on the
selected option to define its
system configuration (including
features and functionality),
specify its attributes (including
geometry, materials and
components/equipment),
develop schematics/diagrams
and initial risk reviews and
generate CAD models and
general arrangement (GA)
drawings.
Perform detailed design
and engineering
assessment to refine,
optimise and finalise the
design, develop
engineering reports/
specifications, provide
updated risk reviews and
generate detail
engineering/fabrication
drawings for manufacture.
Case Studies
“Grange Resources engaged Avesta to undertake detailed modelling on our pelletising furnaces, working closely with our site-based engineers, along with third party consultants to deliver a great outcome for our project.”
-DIAN OLWAGEN
Quality & Process Improvement Manager, Grange Resources Ltd
“We have been working with Avesta for several years. Avesta are our consultants of choice for structural FEA and CFD modelling requirements, for both static and dynamic loads. We have worked collaboratively with Avesta to resolve issues, analyse design improvements and assist us with root cause analysis of failures in equipment to come up with solutions to mitigate future problems.”
