Engineering overview
Finite element analysis & simulation
Simulation is organized around explaining the physical behavior of a product under its service conditions. Formivis combines structural response, failure mechanisms and coupled physics, using physical experimental data as the intended final validation reference.
Principle & workflow
From physical assumptions to a design decision
InputBuild the model
Define the physical question and the inputs that control it. Build a model with traceable units, material properties, contacts and constraints.
ProcessAnalyze the response
Choose the analysis that matches the question: structural response, fatigue, crack growth, creep, thermal stress or fluid–structure interaction.
OutputCompare with evidence
Compare modeled quantities with available physical measurements, review sensitivity and explain what the results mean for a design change or validation plan.
Analysis scope
Structural response under real loads
Analyze linear-elastic response, geometric and material nonlinearity, modal behavior, harmonic response and transient impact.
Failure analysis
Explain how failure develops
Investigate contact, fatigue life, crack propagation, plastic deformation and creep to connect initial damage with the eventual failure mechanism.
Multiphysics
Connect interacting physics
Model thermal–structural effects such as thermal stress and deformation, and fluid–structure interaction where fluid pressure changes structural response.
