Engineers perform CFD and stress analysis to determine methods to improve performance of vehicle systems and components.

As an independent, multidisciplinary research, development, and testing organization, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) provides an unbiased, third-party perspective. We can perform analyses of components, systems, or vehicles. An analysis can range from testing and evaluating test results, to various types of computational analysis and simulation of vehicles or components.

 

Secialized Techniques

In addition to utilizing customized software and hardware to design a vehicle and its components, engineers use a wide range of specialized techniques, including:

  • Linear and nonlinear finite element analyses

  • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
