The Need

Mechanical engineering analysis using computer simulations has become a vital part of the design and development process in many industries. In these days of diminishing resources, it's rare that companies have the resources to tackle the wide range of analysis tasks that arise in real world products. This can lead to project delays and increased costs.

The Solution

Belcan has over 35 years of technical project management experience and an international presence with 15 engineering offices in the United States and Europe. We have the technical expertise and computing resources to manage advanced engineering analysis projects. By outsourcing projects with Belcan, you can better respond to fluctuating demands, share project risks, reduce overhead and stay focused on your core business.

Access New Capabilities

Belcan's staff of over 300 engineers has a wide range of technical experience to bring to your project. Our extensive software library gives us the ability to choose the best tool for a given analysis, including using the same software used in your company. Belcan has over 60 licenses of ANSYS and high-end hardware for running jobs with large memory requirements. We can provide secure facilities for projects involving proprietary, classified and export-controlled materials.

Reduce Time to Completion

We have the software, hardware and staff available to carry out your projects with tight deadlines. We can perform a complete analysis or debug and solve your existing FEA or CFD model. Our project engineers have the technical experience to work efficiently on your project and reduce the total project time.

First-time Quality

We maintain a low overall price for our consulting services by providing high quality results the first time. The deliverables, price and schedule for each project are established from the start to ensure the project objectives are recognized and agreed upon by both parties. We deliver progress and cost updates at milestones throughout the course of the project. Upon completion of every project, we solicit customer feedback to identify any element of our service that may need improvement.

Structural Analysis

Our FEA services will help you to analyze stress, vibration, impact, thermal, magnetic and fluid flow behavior for your product. We are experts in performing "multiphysics" analysis, where one or more physics fields interact and are solved together.

Fluid Flow Analysis

Using leading CFD tools such as CFX, we can simulate complex fluid flows found in a wide range of industrial applications. Multiphase flow, heat transfer, chemical reactions, combustion and fluid structure interaction are some of the many physics that we can model.

Mesh Generation

One of the most time consuming portions of an analysis is the CAD cleanup and mesh generation. Our experts use ICEM to generate a mesh directly from your CAD model. We can create structured, unstructured or hybrid grids on the most difficult models.

Software Development

We leverage our in-depth knowledge of analysis software like ANSYS to create custom software. We develop graphical user interfaces to create a turnkey analysis system, write user subroutines to extend your analysis package, and can help you to integrate in-house software with commercial FEA and CFD software.
