Frequently asked questions

Common questions about working with Quadco Engineering on simulation projects.

Ideally we need the CAD geometry (STEP, IGES, Parasolid or native format), the materials used, the loading conditions and boundary constraints, and any relevant standards or acceptance criteria. For CFD projects we also need fluid properties, flow rates and thermal boundary conditions. If some of this information is not yet fully defined, that is not a problem — we can work with you to establish reasonable assumptions and refine them as the project progresses. Get in touch and we will tell you exactly what we need for your specific case.

A straightforward FEA or CFD analysis of a single component with clean CAD can be completed in a few days to one week. More involved projects — nonlinear analyses, assemblies with contact, transient CFD, coupled multi-physics or optimisation studies — typically take two to six weeks depending on the complexity and the number of load cases. We always agree on a clear scope, timeline and deliverables before the project starts.

We work across a wide range of demanding sectors, including the process and chemical industry, energy and power generation, HVAC and data centres, construction and infrastructure, heavy equipment and machinery, food and pharmaceutical, offshore and marine, and automotive. The common thread is that our clients need reliable, physics-based insight to support critical design decisions — regardless of industry. You can browse our project portfolio above to see examples from each sector.

Every project results in a structured engineering report that covers the analysis objective, model description, applied loads and boundary conditions, results and — most importantly — clear conclusions and recommendations. We do not deliver pages of coloured contour plots without context; the report is written so that your engineering team, management or a third-party reviewer can understand and act on the findings. The format can be adapted to client templates or regulatory requirements where needed.

Yes. Code-compliant analysis is a core part of what we do. We regularly work to Eurocode 3 (steel structures), EN 13445 (unfired pressure vessels), ASME B31.1 (power piping), ASCE 7 (seismic and wind loading), EN 1991 (actions on structures), DNV standards (offshore and marine), and many others. If your project requires a specific code or client specification, we can accommodate that — just let us know when you get in touch.
