GlobalVantage prides itself upon employing a wide variety of highly talented engineers who specialize in 2D/3D mechanical design, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), hand calculations and drawing conversions.

 

Concept Development and Design

• Mechanical Engineering solutions to specific design challenges
• 3D Concept Modeling and Assemblies on your CAD Platform (UG/NX, CATIA, Pro-E, SolidWorks, and Autodesk) to support design evaluation and review
• Component Design in Tooling (Engine Assembly/Disassembly, Airframe Assembly, Manufacturing Jigs and Fixtures), Turbine Engine Components, and Structures
• Design optimization for Weight Reduction, Cost Reduction, Ergonomics Enhancement, and Enhanced Producibility including concurrent structural analysis iteration to validate structural performance

Product Design & Definition

• Drawing Creation, Concepts, Assemblies & Layouts associated to the 3D model Standard Part Libraries
• Drawing Quality Inspection, Certified staff in GD&T and FDD Application (ANSI/ASME)

Drawing and Modeling Maintenance

• Legacy System Support for incorporation of Engineering Change Orders and transition to new platforms
• Convert paper documents to CAD and develop 3D models  from 2D drawings (with associativity)
• Convert legacy CAD files to your platform
• Scan paper drawings to electronic format and clean-up

Structural Analysis

• Hand calculations (static stresses, for evaluation of margins of safety)
• 3D Finite Element Analysis (COSMOS and ANSYS):
  •  Stresses, Strains, Deformations and Reaction Forces
  • Contact, Plasticity, Hyperelasticity, and Creep
  • Fatigue
  • Modal/Harmonic Analysis
  • Transient/Explicit Dynamics Analysis
  • Thermal & Coupled Field Analysis

Technical Publications and Specifications

• Data preparation for ERP system implementation
• Document maintenance:  incorporation of updates, transition to new systems
