Analysis & Modeling // Simulation

Validated analysis behind every design decision.

Structural FEA, weapon effectiveness modeling, and kinematic system simulation — providing the engineering evidence that ordnance designs perform before hardware is built.

Engineering Evidence

Simulation that de-risks the program.

Three complementary analysis disciplines — structural, effectiveness, and system simulation — give a quantified picture of how a design survives launch, flies true, and achieves its intended effect.

Discipline 01

Structural Analysis & FEA

Over 25 years of finite-element analysis using ANSYS — resolving stress, deformation, and dynamic response in components subjected to extreme launch and flight loads.

Model Types
  • 2D and 3D models
  • Static and dynamic systems
  • Linear & non-linear materials
Automation
  • ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) scripting
Representative Work
  • Sabot discard FEA analysis
ANSYS APDL 2D / 3D Non-linear
Discipline 02

Effectiveness & Lethality

Weapon effectiveness and lethality modeling against personnel and materiel targets, using established government codes and custom operations-research models.

Anti-Personnel
  • AMSAA CASRED
  • FBAR
Anti-Materiel
  • AJEM
  • Fullspray
Operations Research
  • Force-on-force modeling
  • Custom OR modeling
  • Weapon system performance models
CASRED FBAR AJEM Fullspray
Discipline 03

System Modeling & Simulation

Finite-element analysis combined with kinematic computer simulation to predict the behavior of mechanical systems through complex, time-dependent events.

Methods
  • Custom mechanical system models
  • Kinematic system simulations
Simulation Examples
  • TPDS projectile sabot discard
  • Airborne sensor deployment
  • Missile inlet-cover discard
