Clients from Industrial Sectors and Projects:

Mechalysis Ltd provides consultancy services to a wide range of major industries such as:

• Offshore and Onshore Installations

• Renewable energy

Our clients may be the main contractor, subcontractor or the owner of a company or running an organisation involved in the projects directly or indirectly in the above industrial sectors. The role of Mechalysis Ltd is to support such clients in various stages or of their projects, specifically the execution of project activities in:

• Concept Design
• Design of Single Parts to Complex Systems (CAD Design)
• FEA and CFD Analysis
• Modification
• Optimisation
• Innovative Solutions

Concept design is an early stage of the design process when the broad outlines of function and form of an item are articulated and results in a big picture or macro design. It illustrates and points out the best choice to meet the design challenges with the available know-how, budget, and skills. It is an opportunity to study and investigate the function and performance of the design against the requirements of the design challenge. It shows us what problem the item will solve, how it will address and what it will feel like as it is solving the problem. It includes the design of interactions, experiences, processes, and strategies. It involves an understanding of system needs and how to meet them with products, services, and operations. Common artefacts of conceptual design are concept sketches and models. Concept design is a requirement and initial input to detailed design when CAD tools come into action.

What we need to begin concept design:

• Reasons and applications of new design
• Your needs and requirements of new design
• The budget allocated to new design and limitations

What we provide for concept design:

• Consultancy, advice and support in studying, defining and outlining, initial concept drawings or sketches, applicability, serviceability of new item, mechanical system or structure of the new design,
• the hypothetical design of industrial-scale items, equipment, mechanical devices and systems or structures based on the obtained research results,
• Summary and identification of the primary research,
• Diagram of major equipment and an equipment layout diagram,
• Concept design path with the mitigated technical risk,
• Detailed concept design and report which will be needed for a technical and economic assessment is required to evaluate the technology reliability and progressiveness and the economic rationality to decide whether to continue the development.

CAD modeling is used to generate detailed engineering 3D models and 2D drawings of components. CAD is also used throughout the engineering processes such as conceptual design, structure or system layout, stress-strain and dynamic analysis of assemblies and so on. CAD focuses on product design and 2D/3D drafting and engineering simulation such as finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics.

What we need to begin working on a CAD project:

• As much detailed and precise description as possible of your project and requirements,
• Scope of Work (SOW) defined by your organisation,
• Any available 2D sketches, drawings or support documents based on which CAD modeling to be started

What we provide you with

• 2D and 3D Drawing of Parts
• 2D and 3D Assembly Drawings
• 3D Modelling of Parts
• 3D Assembly and animation files

• Item or System Descriptions 
• Item or System Specifications
• 2D / 3D drafting, format conversion, rendering, etc.
• Product, parts or systems design and engineering optimisation
• User Manual

Area of our expertise

• Machinery Design
• Design Optimisation

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical method/tool for simulation of mechanical parts, components and structures are used to forecast the behaviour of the structure or the element which undergo particular loading and boundary conditions. The results of FEA simulations are of specific engineering use, especially to identify potential design issues or problems and allow implementing design changes at early stages of the design process to mitigate them to save money and time.  At Mechalysis Ltd, we conduct FEA for all types of engineering components and structures, and the FEA results we provide are of significant importance in design change and optimisation. We provide cost-effective and professional consulting services in FEA related project for our clients.

What we need to run FEA simulation:

• 3D CAD model, or 2D drawings with all dimension information
• The detailed load condition
• The detailed load condition
• The material property of all individual components
• Your requirements and concerns from the FE analysis

What we provide on FEA report:

• A full standard and clear FEA report

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is a numerical simulation method/tool which involves fluid flow in the analysis of fluid dynamics. CFD analysis is applied to a broad range of research and engineering problems in many industries, including aerodynamics and aerospace analysis. The results of CFD analysis help our client engineers to understand the problems involving fluid flow and make proper decisions to reach flawless, reliable and productive designs. At Mechalysis Ltd, perform CFD analysis and provide our customers with reliable and cost-effective solutions.

A design change (or design modification) is the modification conducted early in the design process and is less expensive and time-saving when compared to those that take place after it is introduced into manufacturing and installation. The design change can happen in the concept design, prototype design and testing stages. However, our professional team at Mechalysis Ltd can help and advice you on design modifications at any stage of the project. We can also provide advice and consultancy for modification of mechanical systems, installations and structures which require upgrading and/or introducing changes for the improvement of their serviceability or function.

Design optimisation (engineering optimisation) is an engineering design methodology using a mathematical formulation of a design problem to support the selection of the optimal design among many alternatives. Design optimisation applies the methods of mathematical optimisation to design problem formulations. Our experts can also provide advice and engineering consulting services on reliability-based optimisation of structures.

We can provide you with engineering and consulting service in:

• Problem Identification
• Initial Problem Statement
• Analysis Models
