Structural Design & Analysis

SC Solutions engineers have over 30 years of experience in structural design and analysis of space systems and components for multiple environments.

Our engineers are experts in loads and environments, dynamic loads analysis, coupled loads analysis, mechanical aerospace ground equipment (MAGE) design, transportation and handling loads analysis.

We provide services for aerospace and mechanical applications in the following areas:

Statics

  • Linear Static & Buckling
  • Non-Linear Static
  • Test Predictions/Data Correlation
  • Structural Optimization
  • Fatigue and Fracture
  • Honeycomb Composite Modeling and Optimization

Dynamics

  • Coupled Loads Analysis
  • Normal Modes Analysis
  • Sine Vibration Analysis
  • Random Vibration Analysis
  • Shock Response Spectra (SRS)
  • Highly Non-Linear, Explicit (Abaqus, LS-DYNA, ANSYS)
  • Class A Surfaces

Aerospace Design

Modern aerospace systems are becoming increasingly complex and interconnected, while still being expected to meet stringent performance, reliability, and safety requirements. SC Solutions staff are well versed with analysis of complex space systems and components, including small and large complex spacecraft, propellant tanks, antennas etc. We design such complex systems from a holistic approach, starting from conceptual design through preliminary design review, detailed analysis, and critical design review.
