Fortunately at DOCAN, we get to work on #cool #projects all the time - which include #impact , #dynamics and #vibration , with all the associated issues which comes from this ( #damage , #fatigue , and so on). Sometimes utilising a dynamic amplification factor or #DAF is used, but caution needs to be taken, since many times this can be dangerous. Our skills and technology enable us to develop #1D verification methods (i.e. with #springs , #mass and #dampers , transfer functions, and so on), either using #FEA or our own #coded #methods . These small and quick models enables us to ensure our more complex #3D work makes sense. Then we have the real life 3D #digital #twins - which can include a full #kinematic model of a #robot completing #automated #tasks , or a #bridge #vibrating by various #forcing functions ( #people , #automobiles , #wind , #seismic , and so on), or #impact within a split second causing #damage or absorbing #energy . We have one project at the moment, which include #pulsating #fluids causing torsional beating on a #shaft and #transmission . Our client wants to #increase #production , so we will have to include #CFD to confirm the pulsations, impart that onto the transmission with fluid interactions (i.e. #FSI ), and then complete a #structural #dynamics assessment on the transmission and shell of the equipment and look at #Fatigue and #Life . The main question from the client - can we increase production, will we retain 20 years life, will we need to modify anything. The various forms of structural dynamics which we have covered includes: #Static #Equivalent with a #DAF #Kinetics and #Kinematics #Rigid #Body #Dramatics (and Flexible Body Dynamics) #Modal #Analysis #Modal #Response and #Spectrum #Analysis Power Spectral Density or #PSD #Harmonic #Analysis #Seismic #Analysis (static equivalent, spectrum response, or time history) #Time #History with development of loading profiles Fortunately - at #DOCAN we have the right experience and the right technology to deal with these issues, and come up with pragmatic solutions to your dynamic problems. We're also members of the Vibration Institute which gives us the latest and greatest methods and technology to deal with these issues. (ABAQUS verification model shown - beams and shells of a tooling system with impact loading. This will be used in hand with a significantly mode detailed 3D model). #ansys #abaqus #adina #staad #simulink #matlab #fortran #fluent #CFX

Have you seen our #IDEAS for technology development. We have worked with many clients to help develop their technology from the #Nuclear , #Renewables , #Drilling and #Offshore , #High #Tech , #Manufacturing and more using our tried and tested approach all around the globe. Why come to us? First - your #IP is yours. We are a vehicle for your development. Secondly - have a wealth of #experience and we have some of the worlds top technology to help us. And finally - we have a track record of #success for our clients. Don't forget - with experience, technology and the right can do attitude, nearly anything is possible. Take a look at the blog below, and if your interested come and have a chat. Some of our clients are blue chip multi nationals, some are a lot smaller. info@docanco.com +44(0)1606212330 https://lnkd.in/eGhM9jwx

We use a huge amount of #technology at DOCAN, but quite often it just comes down to people taking their time to be safe and steady, and having a system in place to enable the right level of quality assurance. One of our projects required a #lifting #assessment of an old and new piece of equipment which was approx.. #500Te when all the #jewellery was included. It was important to understand the actual #mass , the #longitudinal and #radial position of #CG . It was important to be #correct (as it normally is). What was our process? The right people, doing the right job, following the right process, and due to the significance, doing it more than one way (both with #CAD and #MathCAD ). When it has to be #right - come and talk to team DOCAN! info@docanco.com +44(0)1606212330

We have just delivered a great multi discipline project to our #COMAH clients. Part of our project was to complete a #HAZOP of their #Process #System . As part of this, we conducted: #PID review, including a review of over pressure protection and selection of new #PSV 's A full site #survey and walk down and #digital #twin . #Development of as-built #drawings of a #piping and #tank #farm system Development, assessment and #modification of the #pipe system Inclusion of a Pipe Stress Analysis / #PSA to confirm structural integrity to #ASME B31.3 code. Next - onto a Process Hazard #PHAST assessment. If you to need an experienced Engineering Consultancy to complete a Multi Discipline review, modification or design come and discuss with the DOCAN team at: info@docanco.com +44(0)1606212330

How do you #design and #characterise your #fluid and #process systems. When simple, we use simple, but when we have more complex systems we use the right technology. In this case 1D fluid flow software. #Liquid - #Gas - #Multiphase - #Slurry - #System #Sizing - #Relief #Valve / #PSV Sizing - #Burst #Disk sizing - #Pump / #Compressor sizing - #Heat #Transfer and Exchange - we have you covered.

#Chemical Engineering, #Process Engineering and #Process Safety. In normal fashion - we do these aspects the DOCAN way. With the right technology, the right experience and the right people, nearly anything is possible. If you want a cold eyes review of your project, or you want us to help design or modify your system, or conduct some form of safety review, come and talk to the team at DOCAN. info@docanco.com +44(0)1606212330 #hysis #phast #fluidflow #lopa #hazop #comah #design #modification #pid #pfd #sizing #BOP #Oil #Gas #Nuclear #Renewables #Steam #fluent #flacs https://lnkd.in/eBBRhP-Q

Great news for the DOCAN team and its clients. We have just agreed to further invest in our computational solutions by investing in another seat of #ANSYS #Fluent / #CFX #Premium . We are an independent Engineering Consultancy using a wide range of technology - from the likes of Hexagon, Siemens, Dassault Systems, PTC, Autodesk, and of course ANSYS. This significant investment aimed at #growth and keeping up with #demand , will enable DOCAN to be one of the #premier #Consultancies within the domain of #modelling and #simulating complex #CFD and related problems. This further capability is also feeding into our more general multi-discipline projects within the Refining, Pharma, Chemical and Process, Renewables, Energy, Built Environment, and General Engineering Design. If you would like to know more, or take advantage of our CFD experience and skills, please get in touch with the team at: info@docanco.com +44(0)1606212330
