01
Independent Model Review
Audit an existing model, assumptions, loads, material data, mesh, contacts, solver behaviour and result interpretation.
Process
From engineering question to reviewable technical evidence.
Axis scopes the smallest credible analysis that can answer the decision. Complexity is added only when the governing physics, uncertainty or required deliverable justify it.
Engagement types
Choose the right level of support.
02
Focused Simulation Study
A bounded engineering question with a defined model scope, outputs and concise technical note.
03
Advanced Engineering Assessment
Complex nonlinear, dynamic, coupled or integrity-focused simulation with verification, sensitivity and full reporting.
04
Ongoing Simulation Partner
Recurring external specialist capability integrated with an engineering, industrial or R&D workflow.
Workflow
A controlled workflow, not black-box simulation.
01 · Define
Clarify the decision.
What must be answered? What response or failure mode matters? What is known, uncertain or confidential?
02 · Review
Assess inputs and analysis need.
Geometry, loads, materials, supports, operating state, available evidence and whether advanced simulation is justified.
03 · Build
Select the numerical route.
Solver strategy, element formulation, mesh, constitutive models, contact, load application and output plan follow the physics.
04 · Verify
Check before interpretation.
Units, load paths, convergence or stability, energy response, mesh sensitivity, contacts and benchmark/analytical evidence where available.
05 · Interpret
Identify what controls the response.
Critical regions, response history, failure indicators, comparison metrics, uncertainty and practical engineering meaning.
06 · Report
Make the evidence reviewable.
Assumptions, model setup, verification, figures, limitations, conclusions and recommendations are documented clearly.
Typical deliverables
What the client can receive.
- Model review / audit note
- Finite-element model files where included in scope
- Mesh, boundary-condition and material-model documentation
- Field contours and response-history plots
- Critical-zone and failure-mechanism interpretation
- Baseline-versus-alternative comparison
- Sensitivity or verification summary where scoped
- Technical report with assumptions and limitations
What we need to start
Inputs for technical scoping.
- The engineering question or decision
- Geometry, drawings, CAD or dimensions
- Material grades/data and relevant condition information
- Loads, pressure/temperature history or accidental scenario
- Supports, interfaces, contacts and operating/preload state
- Required outputs and deadline
- Confidentiality/NDA requirements
First step
You do not need to choose the solver.
Send the problem, available information and the decision you need to support. Axis will propose the analysis route.
