Composite and lightweight structures
Comprehensive technical expertise for advanced composite structure design and analysis.
We specialize in structural analysis of composite materials for aerospace, automotive, and lightweight structure applications. Our expertise includes both traditional composite structures as well as innovative aluminum and steel composite hybrid designs. We develop and optimize material models specifically tailored to composite materials’ unique properties.
Partnering with our lightweight structure designers, we deliver complete projects from feasibility studies through final drawings. We help you leverage the unique advantages of lightweight structures – directional strength optimization, superior vibration damping, and inherent corrosion resistance.
While initial material and manufacturing costs may be higher, lightweight structures deliver significant long-term savings through reduced lifecycle costs. For existing composite structures, we provide specialized repair and modification analyses to extend service life and maintain performance.

Not only colorful pictures – CFD saves time and money
Did you know that by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) you can save as much as 80 % in design time and 60 % in design costs? During the past 20 years, I’ve been lucky enough to participate in many interesting simulation projects both in Finland and abroad and have seen how clients have received instant help. But what is CFD really? Where can it be applied and why should it be utilized?
