CAD / FEA / CFD
CES offers expertise in the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and CAD toward practical solutions of complex engineering problems. Our engineering teams have extensive experience in both commercial and military aerospace environments. We utilize the latest versions of most popular CFD / FEA and CAD packages used in the industry, from conceptual design stages to fabricating and manufacturing parts and assemblies.
We provide CFD and Thermal / Fluids design services in areas including:
- Engine Core Compartment Airflow
- Nacelle Cooling
- Engine Bleed System
- Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
- Electronics & Avionics Cooling - LRUs
- Accessory Cooling (generators, heat exchangers, etc.)
- Fuel, Hydraulic, and Oil Cooling System
- Passenger Cabin, EE and Cargo Compartments
- General CFD / System Level Analysis
- Environmental Control & Ram Air System
We provide FEA design services in areas including:
- General Rigid Body FEA
- Secondary Structures in support of our design activities
