Engineering / Simulation and CAE
Use simulation to make product decisions earlier.
Computational engineering services spanning structural mechanics, thermal analysis, fatigue, vibration and multi domain simulation. CX24 treats numerical work as engineering evidence, with assumptions, convergence and validation needs made explicit.
Service overview
Identify failure modes, compare design options and focus physical testing before hardware is committed.

- Service model
- Use focused specialist support for a defined gap, or assemble a multidisciplinary team around a complete workstream. The structure follows the interfaces and decisions in the scope.
- Delivery
- Choose a project, dedicated team, hybrid engagement or managed service. Milestones, client responsibilities and acceptance criteria are agreed before execution.
- Control
- Scope, assumptions, evidence, ownership and review rhythm remain visible. Changes and unresolved risks are recorded with an accountable decision owner.
- Finite element analysis
- Structural mechanics
- Heat transfer
- Model and numerical controls
- Convergence and sensitivity record
- Decision, limitation and validation need
- CFD and aerodynamics
- Mechanical design
- Physics based modelling
Lifecycle positionQuestion

Practical coverage
Assess sensitivity to imperfection and operating load.
Design optimisation
Controlled comparison of geometry, material and load path alternatives.
Practical coverage
Use performance constraints to guide design change.
Solutions
Solutions for common delivery needs.
Start with the problem you need to solve. We define the work, responsibilities and acceptance criteria around that need.
Prototype failures are expensive or slow to investigate.
How CX24 respondsUse failure evidence and operating loads to build a focused simulation, investigate likely causes and identify the next useful test.
The design must be compared across several operating cases.
How CX24 respondsDefine a consistent load case matrix and compare designs using the same material data, modelling assumptions and acceptance measures.
A product needs weight, thermal or durability improvement.
How CX24 respondsCompare design changes against structural, thermal and fatigue requirements, with sensitivity checks and a validation plan.
Test data exists but the underlying failure mechanism is unclear.
How CX24 respondsCorrelate simulation with the measured behaviour, investigate discrepancies and document the limits of the resulting explanation.
Delivery approach
A clear path from scope to evidence.
The exact gates change by service, but ownership, review and measurable outputs stay explicit. Each stage establishes the information needed to enter the next one responsibly.

Typical deliverables.
Deliverables are adapted to the client environment and agreed acceptance criteria. The aim is to leave behind usable engineering, technology or operating capability, not presentation material alone.
Model definition
Geometry, materials, contacts, loads and assumptions.
Assumptions, ownership, dependencies and the agreed review status are recorded with the output.Numerical checks
Mesh, convergence, sensitivity and balance evidence.
Working files, source information and revision status are organised so the client team can continue using them.Engineering results
Relevant fields, margins, hot spots and comparisons.
Results include the relevant checks, open issues, limitations and approval evidence, not only the final conclusion.Decision report
Findings, limitations, recommendations and test needs.
Final handover identifies accepted scope, residual risk, next actions and the accountable owner for each action.Technology and methods

Evidence clients can review before acceptance.
Agree the deliverables, review records and acceptance measures at the start. These are the evidence you should receive during delivery, not claims about past projects.
Accepted outputs
Deliverables are mapped to agreed criteria, version status, accountable owners and review decisions.
Decision trail
Inputs, assumptions, interfaces, changes, exceptions and approvals remain connected to the work.
Delivery measures
Progress, quality, risk, backlog or service measures are selected for the actual engagement.
Practical handover
Working files, source information, runbooks and handover actions leave the client able to continue.
Client names, project details and outcome claims are published only with permission. Evidence for a specific engagement is confirmed through the agreed scope, reviews and acceptance records.
Choose a delivery structure that fits the responsibility.
Team shape, governance, commercial structure and acceptance are matched to the outcome CX24 is asked to deliver.
Defined project
Bounded scope, milestones, deliverables and acceptance criteria for a specific outcome.
Dedicated team
Stable specialist capacity integrated with client leadership, standards and delivery rhythms.
Delivery centre
Multidisciplinary capacity with named governance, shared methods and transparent reporting.
Managed service
Recurring responsibility operated against controls, service levels and improvement measures.
