Analysis & Modeling

Structural
Ascendant Engineering Solutions has the expertise and tools to perform structural design, modeling, analysis, and testing to verify that your design will meet its requirements. We have significant experience in structural dynamics, modeling, and analyzing designs for vibration and shock. AES engineers utilize ANSYS as a primary FEA tool. AES has expertise in the following areas:

• Structural dynamics / Random vibration
• Stress and fatigue analysis
• Designing isolation systems for vibration and shock environments
• Structure / Servo interaction for high-performance stabilized platforms
• Nonlinear analyses
• Vibration and shock measurement and testing / Experimental modal analysis

Thermal
Ascendant Engineering Solutions has designed, modeled, analyzed, and tested cooling solutions including passive, forced convection cooling, and direct conduction cooling operation at high altitudes. AES has experience modeling and analyzing at the board/component level to calculate critical junction temperatures, as well as experience modeling and analyzing entire systems to determine overall cooling efficiencies. Our services include:

• Electronics Board / Component Thermal Design, Modeling, and Analysis
• Heat Sink Design / Selection
• Heat Exchangers
• System (Fan/Flow) Thermal Design, Modeling and Analysis

AES has environmental test capability on site.
