Your engineering analysis partner

Today's business environment is rife with competitive challenges, customer requirements and financial pressures. This environment has resulted in the need to find new methods for engineering more innovative products and manufacturing processes — while minimizing costs and time to market. Virtually every industry now recognizes that a key strategy for success is to incorporate computer-based engineering simulation early in the development process, allowing engineers to refine and validate designs at a stage where the cost of making changes is minimal. IDAC refers to this as Simulation Driven Product Development.

Having well over 200 years of combined experience in Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the full ANSYS engineering software suite our company has encouraged the development and application of simulation methods to solve the most demanding and complex engineering problems. Software solutions from ANSYS, combined with the value-added service, support and technical services from IDAC have been the key catalyst for innovation and faster time to market for thousands of products and engineering teams around the world.

As a value-added reseller of ANSYS simulation software IDAC provides engineering analysis software sales, consultancy, training and technical services to a variety of global and UK customers using FEA and CFD software. These products provide engineers with broad, high end analysis functionality for the development of leading edge products and state of the art manufacturing processes. The company continually advances simulation solutions by, first, developing or acquiring the very best technology; then integrating it into a unified and customizable simulation platform that allows engineers to efficiently perform complex simulations involving the interaction of multiple physics; and, finally, providing system services to manage simulation processes and data - all so engineers and product developers can spend more time designing and improving products and less time using software and searching for data.

Software

Finite element analysis (FEA) & computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology can be used to simulate the most physical and complex systems. Now with the latest release of ANSYS IDAC are able to deliver innovative, dramatic simulation technology advancements in every major physics discipline, along with improvements in computing speed and enhancements to technologies such as geometry handling, meshing and post-processing. These advancements alone represent a major step forward on the path we like to call Simulation Driven Product Development. For more information of how IDAC can help in your FEA & CFD needs contact us on +44 (0)844 212 5900 or alternatively email us on info@idac.co.uk.

Our FEA or CFD solutions are not only limited to:

Consultancy

Your engineering problems can often be solved most efficiently by letting us worry about the technical issues & driving the software. You will enjoy a high quality & cost-effective service to which IDAC has been helping industry since 1996. When you are racing against time or facing new technical challenges, you can quickly & conveniently strengthen your own engineering team with our expertise.

Our consultancy analysis capabilities include but are not limited to:

With no hassle or commitment, you can easily receive a quotation together with a detailed scope of work for any project you may be considering. Simply contact our Technical Director, or another member of our team to discuss your requirements even if you are unsure whether FEA or CFD can help on +44 (0)844 212 5900 or by emailing info@idac.co.uk.

Customisation

Customized versions of ANSYS finite element analysis software can undoubtedly help businesses quickly gain the benefits of 'virtual world' validation. IDAC can provide turnkey solutions to complicated generic problems without the overheads normally associated with a dedicated engineering analysis group or department. IDAC has helped customers develop product designs and processes by supplying them with customized ANSYS finite element analysis software which has been made use of by South Midlands Communications (SMC) when running full and rapid three-dimensional nonlinear (large deflection) structural analyses (read more here). This has helped engineers and scientists save overall time and money.

If you are using the ANSYS suite of simulation software and are wanting to minimize your turn around time and maximize productivity then having a modified interface can make all the difference, calls us on +44 (0)844 212 5900 for an informal chat and we can discuss how we can help you get the most out of your software.

Training

For maximum efficiency it is important that your engineering team keeps abreast of the latest analysis technology. Also, if you have invested in software you would undoubtedly want to get the most out of it! You can benefit from our comprehensive range of finite element courses at all levels from Management Awareness to Advanced Solutions.

IDAC provide scheduled and customized training courses either at our air-conditioned training facility in Croydon or at your own site. Upgraded with brand new Dell Quad Core workstations and freshly fitted projection unit our new training facility is fully air conditioned and set in a clean, comfortable environment for learning, whether it be ANSYS Classic, ANSYS Workbench or any other of our scheduled or customized courses.

We believe the prices for both our Standard and Tailored courses represent extremely good value. Obviously it is always more cost-effective for us to train more than one delegate at a time. As a result we can pass these benefits onto you by charging less for more trainees from your company or university. We also charge separately for the training manuals you take away with you. Therefore you can keep costs down further by deciding how many copies you require. Please feel free to enquire about when our next course/s will be run by emailing info@idac.co.uk or by calling us on +44 (0)844 212 5900.
