DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
From conceptual design to final drawings ready for manufacture, we can provide advice and recommendations based on your project requirements.
We will determine appropriate product specifications, and optimise the design in terms of performance, weight, size, cost, and other factors. Helping you to progress quickly through design iterations and increase the technical readiness level of your product or process.
Using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) tools we can create parametric 3D models to facilitate your product research and development process, illustrate conceptual design ideas, prepare and finalise ready for manufacture drawings with accurate geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) details and a bill of materials (BoM) ready for procurement.

MODELLING & SIMULATION
In line with the principles of Industry 4.0 and the development of digital twins, we provide cost-effective solutions to complex problems that require computational modelling.
We are experts in non-linear finite element analysis (FEA) for both structural and thermal problems. We have experience in running simulations of complex structures from a geometric (e.g. products of additive manufacturing), interaction (e.g. contact, assemblies), and materials (e.g. viscoelasticity, plasticity, failure) perspective.
At Metisec we have extensive experience in developing custom-made code for stand-alone applications or for applications that require interfacing with FEA, such as inverse FEA and optimisation algorithms. We also provide computational solutions for rigid-body dynamics and fluid flow using multibody dynamic modelling (MBD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Using these tools and skills, we can assess and optimise your designs, products and processes to ensure compliance with any guideline or standard.

We provide cost-effective solutions to complex problems requiring computational modelling including non-linear finite element analysis (FEA) from a geometric, interaction, and materials perspective. We also provide computational solutions for rigid-body dynamics and fluids flow using multibody dynamic modelling (MBD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
TESTING & EVALUATION
We have the capacity and knowledge to design, prepare, and perform tests on a range of materials and structures from quasi-static to high loading rates.
Always with high accuracy and repeatability, we can assist at any stage of physical testing; from planning an experimental protocol to instrumentation, data acquisition, execution and data analysis. Our portfolio includes experiments performed to quantify the material behaviour of nonlinear materials, such as rubbers and polymers, simple proof of concept tests, as well as ultimate strength and fatigue tests.
