IDAC resells a wide range of engineering analysis software, including the full ANSYS simulation suite. In addition to this IDAC provides a computer-aided engineering consulting service and training.
IDAC’s engineers have extensive finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) experience providing customers with advanced analysis capabilities. IDAC can provide analysis expertise in almost any field, from simple structural problems to complex multi-physics simulations. Past projects have included analysing gas turbine systems, wind turbines, power generation systems, heat exchangers, pump systems, and offshore systems.
Attend a Simulation Open Day at IDAC, featuring presentations, demonstrations and Q&A sessions. Held quarterly, they are FREE to attend. Email IDAC for further information.
IDAC’s engineering analysts use the full ANSYS simulation suite to validate product and process designs in the following fields:
IDAC analysts can create customised solutions using simulation software to provide solutions to complex problems without the overheads normally associated with a dedicated engineering analysis group or department.
IDAC offers simulation software training to help engineers keep abreast of the latest computer-aided engineering technology. Both scheduled and customised training is available on a wide range of analysis topics. Courses are run for any level of user and can also be customised to your company’s requirements.
ANSYS structural mechanics solutions offer the engineer an ability to simulate every structural aspect of a product, from simple linear static analyses to advanced contact, transient non-linear situations that may include dynamic effects.
Multi-physics simulation solutions allow engineers and designers to evaluate their product designs operating under real-world multi-physics conditions, where multiple types of coupled physics interact. ANSYS allows the interaction between structural mechanics, heat transfer, fluid flow, acoustics and electromagnetism, all within a single software product.
The ANSYS fluid dynamics solution allows the modelling of fluid flow and its effects. The suite contains both general computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and additional specialised products to address specific power industry applications.
IDAC’s CFD business group continues to help businesses with their growing demand for virtual testing and prototyping. Given the complex nature of turbulent flows and their unsteady behaviour, IDAC consultants often have to resort to using more than just steady-state simulations to predict the flow field in, or around, objects.
The ANSYS explicit dynamics solution allows severe events such as drop tests, crash impact, explosions and penetrations to be simulated. These events can often involve short-duration, large-strain, large-deformation, fracture, complete material failure or structural problems with complex contact interactions. These types of events can often be difficult or expensive to study experimentally.
The ANSYS electromagnetic solutions have been further enhanced since it incorporated the industry-leading electromagnetic field solvers from Ansoft into the portfolio. These products cover the full spectrum of electromagnetic analyses allowing behaviour of low and high-frequency electromagnetic fields to be predicted. ANSYS electromagnetic solutions enable users to predict the behaviour of electrical and electromechanical devices, eliminate prototype iterations, and deliver products to market faster.
IDAC also offers CivilFEM, which is a customisation of ANSYS for civil engineering applications. It is an analysis tool incorporating modules for bridges, geotechnics, advanced pre-stressed reinforced concrete and nuclear power plants. CivilFEM also offers code checking for steel structures (AISC, Eurocode No.3, BS 5950) and concrete structures (ACI, Eurocode No.2, BS 8110 amongst others).

Glenfield Valves approached IDAC to conduct a finite element (FE) analysis on a valve. The analysis was performed using ANSYS to set up, solve and post process the linear static analysis.
IDAC carried out linear static structural analysis of two satellite antennas for HITEC.
IDAC was required by its client to carry out a prototype design investigation of a laminated rotor to be used in a hydraulic steering system in a car. A series of analyses were carried out on various rotor designs. Two main designs were investigated: A hollow laminated core <

Nuvia had been contracted to design and manufacture a new type of prototype IF container. To support the validation of this design, Nuvia commissioned IDAC to study the structural responses of a revised IF container design subjected to a drop test using finite element analysis (FEA). The analysis
In recent times the need to protect ourselves from the hazards of explosive or ballistic attacks, either as a result of an accident or terrorist activity, has increased. This has led to the development of a number of products to help resist blast pressures, which often require analysis using adva
