Safety and Special Calculations
Various applications and systems can be exposed to special challenges, such as an explosion, special transport, or shock. We verify your components reliably and digitally.
Digital Safety Analyses for Maximum Loads
Safety from the start
Our simulation solutions help you prepare systems and components for extreme scenarios – whether explosions, shock waves, containment, or dynamic impact loads. Instead of risky and expensive physical tests, we analyze digital models realistically and efficiently. This saves time and costs.
Using numerical methods such as FEA and CFD calculations, we simulate the propagation of pressure or shock waves, investigate structural damage, and test the effectiveness of protective measures. This allows you to identify weak points early, optimize your design, and meet safety-relevant standards – even before the first prototype.
Our Range of Services
Services tailored to your requirements
Based on FEA and CFD analyses, we determine the behavior of your process or systems under extraordinary loads and situations. From crash simulations to explosion calculations, shock calculations, and transport simulations, we can digitally map a variety of such challenges.
Crash Simulations
Understand what happens in the event of a crash and improve the design of your structures in a targeted manner.
Explosion Analysis
We demonstrate how safe your component is during an explosion, e.g., caused by a short circuit or gas ignition.
Shock Calculations
Shock-type loads can lead to unintended destruction of your components. We simulate this and identify critical areas.
Transport Simulations
Depending on the type of transport, this can cause different loads on your component, e.g., when lifting it with a crane.
Containment
Make your systems and machines puncture-proof. This is particularly important for protecting human life, for example in pressure test rigs.

You have come to the right place if...
Your challenges – our solutions
You want to understand how your components behave during a crash, transport, or explosions – before damage occurs.
You want to secure critical load cases – for example, through shock, crash, or explosion calculations.
You need to provide proof that your components are pressure-tight or puncture-proof – e.g., for containment applications.
You want to simulate complex transport or accident scenarios realistically to validate or secure designs.
You want to save time and costs through virtual tests – instead of complex physical experiments.
Advantages of Simulations
Measurable benefit. Verifiable quality.
With virtual simulations and sound calculations, we support you in developing products faster, safer, and more economically. Our claim: reliable results you can count on.
Proof of Safety
Mechanical loads from crashes, explosions, or shock impacts can be simulated and evaluated realistically – this creates safety in product design and during certification.
Prevention of Damage
Numerical simulations allow weak points to be identified early. In this way, you avoid consequential damage, unnecessary tests, and unplanned failures or accidents during operation.
Efficient Development
Changes can be evaluated quickly and cost-effectively. Virtual tests save time and significantly reduce the effort for physical experiments – right through to the finished solution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Quick answers. Clear solutions.
Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our services.
What information do we need to provide to start a project?
For a realistic simulation, we ideally require your CAD data, information on materials, supports, loads, and the objective of the investigation – e.g., proof of safety, damage analysis, or design for special load cases. Simply send us your data via our inquiry form – we will check what is possible without obligation.
How long does a typical safety or special simulation take?
This depends on the task, the complexity of the geometry, and the desired accuracy. Initial results are often possible within a few days for manageable projects. For more comprehensive analyses or variant studies, the effort can take several weeks. We would be happy to clarify this in a personal conversation.
Do you also support result interpretation and optimization?
Yes – we provide you not only with reliable results but also with concrete recommendations, e.g., for reinforcing components, positioning safety zones, or deriving design measures. Use our experience to gain practical solutions from the simulation.
Which software do you use – and how reliable are the results?
We use established FEA tools such as ANSYS Mechanical, LS-DYNA, and OpenRadioss, depending on the application. Results are secured through internal quality standards, comparative calculations, and – upon request – validation with tests. Please feel free to ask us about sample projects.
Is such a simulation also worthwhile for smaller companies or individual projects?
Definitely – especially in safety-critical or expensive test situations, simulations can offer enormous potential for savings. The use is also economically sensible for medium-sized companies or specific individual questions. We would be happy to advise you individually.
