Nonlinear Engineering provides consulting and off-site services to manufacturing and research & development organizations, encompassing the areas of product and process simulation, optimization, and design assistance. In most cases, this work is accomplished using sophisticated finite element tools. The company's areas of expertise include linear and nonlinear structural analysis, blast and ballistic penetration analysis, impact/crash analysis, heat transfer and thermal stress analysis, and forming analysis. By using simulation and analysis services, clients can reduce development costs, time to market, and the cost of simulation allows for the examination of more possibilities, resulting in a more optimized product. Nonlinear's services provide for a better product, developed with less expense, in less time than traditional methods.
