Structural Analysis & Simulation
AMB specializes in advanced modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) to solve complex physics problems, allowing us to optimize designs and systems before significant investments are made in physical prototypes. Our capabilities include structural analysis, kinematics, mechanics, and thermodynamics, enabling us to assess their effects on performance with precision. By leveraging these advanced techniques, we can simulate real-world conditions and identify potential issues early in the design process. This approach not only enhances accuracy but also eliminates the need for costly prototypes.
