Shock calculation
Safety under shock loads. The dynamic analysis shows at an early stage whether your component can withstand short-term shock effects – regardless of the industry.
Reliable simulation of shock effects
Dynamic safety under extreme loads
A shock analysis is a method from numerical structural mechanics that is used in product development to test the resistance of a component to short-term, impulse-like loads. Such shock loads are caused by impact events, rapid changes in movement or mechanical shocks – in contrast to static or oscillating loads.
The shock calculation ensures that your component can withstand the dynamic forces that occur – without unacceptable deformation or structural failure. Transient simulations are used to determine how stresses and deformations develop over very short periods of time – and whether they are within safe limits.
Our range of services
Safety and special simulations
We evaluate the load-bearing capacity of your structures under shock - digitally, reliably and in accordance with standards. Using transient FEA analyses, we identify weak points, test safety-critical scenarios and create the basis for robust, safe use.

Shock calculations are essential when...
Your safety - our responsibility
short-term, impulse-like loads act on your construction - e.g. due to impacts, hard contacts or dynamic machine influences.
weak points in dynamic load cases before real tests are carried out.
high demands are placed on functionality and safety under transient loads - for example in electronics, sensor technology or fastenings.
there is no time for repeated prototype tests - and reliable simulation results are required.
Critical applications in sensitive industries such as defense, aviation or medical technology require maximum reliability.
Advantages of shock simulations
Measurable benefits. Verifiable quality
With virtual simulations and transient analyses, we support you in designing safer and more robust products. Our claim: reliable results for shock load cases - reliable, comprehensible and close to the application.
Prevention of component failure
A shock calculation can be used to check whether your component can withstand short-term dynamic loads. This reduces risks and prevents safety-relevant failures.
Design for dynamic load cases
We determine relevant stresses, deformations and impulses under impact load in order to specifically safeguard the design for critical load scenarios.
Realistic valuation
Digital shock simulations provide reliable findings even before the first physical tests are possible - and thus create planning security.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Quick answers. Clear solutions.
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our services.
What exactly is a shock calculation?
A shock calculation is a dynamic simulation in which the behavior of a component under short-term, shock-like load is analyzed – e.g. as a result of an impact or hard contact.
When is a shock analysis useful?
Particularly in early development phases or for safety-critical applications – such as in the defense industry, aviation, medical technology or mobile devices – shock analysis provides valuable insights before the first prototypes are built.
Can existing constructions also be checked?
Yes, existing models or CAD data can be used to subsequently simulate the behavior under shock and, if necessary, identify potential for improvement.
How long does a shock simulation take and how much does it cost?
This depends on the component, the boundary conditions and the level of detail. A calculation usually takes a few days. We would be happy to provide you with an individual offer.
