Research and Development

Structec provides Research and Development services to find smarter solutions in optimisation the analyses and design methodologies. We also work with national and international universities to carry out Structural Testing and advanced Finite Element Analyses required for developing optimisation algorithms and solutions for new product design.
Our services include:
 
  • Structural Testing
  • Design Optimisations

  • Advanced Structural Analyses using Non-Linear Finite Element Method

  • Proposing New Technical Methodologies and Smarter Solutions

  • Preparing design tables for new products

  • Assisting with product development 

Below are examples of previous works and experiences of our engineers in various Research and Development projects.
