SIMTEQ Engineering

Our Story It all started in 1995... History With a passion for technology and assisting engineers to compete with the best in the world, MSC-Africa was formed as a representative of MSC Software, the developers of world renowned FEA code NASTRAN. Although it underwent a number of name changes throughout the years, the vision and passion of our people never changed. Vision Our vision is to enable our customers to solve the most challenging engineering problems. We do this by representing the best technology in the world and supporting and training our customers in applying the technology effectively and correctly. What we do Company Profile SIMTEQ Engineering makes product developing and manufacturing companies profitable and competitive by taking costly trial-and-error design and manufacturing processes of products into the virtual world. With our team of expert engineers and the best simulation and analysis technology, we make it simple to solve and prevent manufacturing and in-service problems of parts, assemblies and systems. We: - Sell the right technical solutions - Train users - Provide technical support - Offer knowledge transfer consulting and services - Advise senior and postgraduate students We also provide specialist services such as: - Manufacturing process evaluation of welding, forming and additive manufacturing - Rail vehicle dynamic simulations - Blast (explosion) and crash simulations for vehicle protection evaluations - Glass forming simulations - Composites FEM setup and analysis - Acoustic analyses (Vibro-acoustic damage and noise simulations) - Control system and dynamic system co-simulations - Fluid flow and multi-body dynamic co-simulations Why we do it We love technology and are constantly looking out for new developments and ways to eliminate costly (and time consuming) trial-and-error prototyping. This helps our customers to get their products to market faster, cheaper and with confidence that it will perform as intended. Where we do it Our sales territory includes all Sub-Sahara African countries, while we already provided our services and training in Finland, Turkey, Pakistan, Israel and Australia (i.e. where ever you can travel to!). How we do it We specialize in providing the technology, training and knowledge transfer consulting services using Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)* solutions. With many years of experience in these specialized areas of Finite Element Analysis and Multi-Body Dynamics, we are in the best position to advise and support our customers on which technologies to use and how to solve the problems they have. Manufacturing areas included are Forming, Welding, Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) both metals and plastics. In-service areas include part strength analysis, vibration, noise, thermal and fatigue, as well as full system analysis including moving parts, control systems, hydraulics and electrical systems. In Forming the following methods are all covered: Hot forging, open die forging, Sheet metal forming, metal stamping, rolling, ring rolling, mechanical joining and heat treatment. In Welding the following methods are covered: Arc welding, laser beam, electron beam, resistance spot welding, brazing, pressure welding and stress relief methods. In Additive Manufacturing the following methods are covered for metals: Selective Laser Melting, Direct Metal Laser Sintering, Laser Powder Bed Fusion and LaserCUSING as well as Electron Beam Melting. Metal deposition methods are covered under welding. The goal with part and system simulation is to represent reality as closely as possible to eliminate any nasty surprises when in service. This often presents trade-offs between quick useful answers and precise costly answers. We assist our customers in closing the gap. * Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software to aid in engineering analysis tasks. It includes finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multibody dynamics (MBD), durability and optimization.
