This is a brief description of the service ...
Key Benefits
- Reduce your overhead costs by using Palantir to do your design analysis.
The amount of hours of training and application of software programs and
engineering practices, as well as the cost of the computer equipment and
space can all be alleviated by simply having our team at Palantir review,
recommend and document your critical areas of design and analysis.
- Eliminate the need for testing and mock-up and increase your ability to
produce successful first generation prototypes. FEA Analysis can help
determine critical areas before fabrication begins.
- Increased savings on manufacturing costs by eliminating "over-toleranced"
components and increase design efficiency by defining the correct tolerance
build up for your mechanisms.
Capabilities
- Design Analysis for Manufacturing and Assembly
- Let Palantir help you to review your designs and components and
recommend alternate more economical methods for fabrication and assembly.
Costs can be drastically reduced and performance increased depending on type
of materials and manufacturing processes used. Making parts more
efficiently and economically is only gets you halfway home, at Palantir we
can help review mechanisms for more practical methods of assembly using
conventional or automated processes.
-
- FEA Analysis
- Knowing how a component or assembly will perform mechanically, long
before it's ever actually manufactured is a very important part of today's
engineering world. Many hours of design and fabricated design mock-ups
can be eliminated just from having the ability to do analysis before parts
are ever made. At Palantir we use the latest in FEA (Finite Element
Analysis) to help review and recommend critical design parameters through
the use of COSMOS FEA. COSMOS is one of today's leading FEA packages
that integrates seamlessly with Solidworks and in conjunction with AutoCAD or
any of several other leading CAD packages. The following is just a
short list of the design properties of parts or assemblies that can be
analyzed at Palantir:
-
Static Linear Mechanical Analysis (Stress, Displacement, Deformation, etc.)
- Frequency Buckling (Vibration, Buckling,
Pressure forces)
-
Thermal Analysis (Conduction, Convection, Steady State, and Radiation heat
transfer)
- Fatigue (Predict component weaknesses
from Mechanical and Thermal Cycling)
-
Motion Analysis, cams, linkages, cams, power consumption and more...
- Assembly Analysis to help determine
critical tolerances for complicated assemblies
-
- Tolerance Stack Analysis to Drive GD&T
- Ever wonder what those goofy symbols and boxes actually mean and how the
values were determined? Many engineers use a common set of tolerance
blocks and standards to define how a part should be made and often times
incorrectly use them in ways there were not intended. At Palantir, we
can help you establish the correct tolerances you need by producing a
Tolerance Stack Analysis for your assemblies and mechanisms. Derived
by using COSMOS (mentioned above), you can actually "see" how tolerances
limits are established and how they can be practically distributed among
individual parts and refined to help with manufacturing methods.
