Why fluid-structure interaction?
Realistic simulations
FSI enables realistic simulations of complex physical phenomena in which fluid flows and structural motions interact closely. This leads to accurate results and improves the understanding of system dynamics.
Product optimization
FSI enables engineers to optimize products and designs to maximize performance, efficiency and safety. This leads to better products and more effective designs.
Increasing efficiency
FSI makes it possible to design products and systems so that they work more efficiently. This can reduce energy consumption and save costs.
Safety assessment
In safety-critical applications such as aerospace or civil engineering, FSI helps to assess and ensure the structural integrity and reliability of systems under various loads and environmental conditions.
Product development
Fluid-structure interaction enables virtual product development, where prototypes and physical testing can be reduced or avoided. This saves time and costs in the development process.
Improved reliability
FSI helps to increase the reliability of products and systems by identifying and eliminating potential problems in advance.
Environmental impact
Fluid structure analysis helps to develop environmentally friendly solutions by investigating the impact of flows and pressures on the environment and ecosystems.
Promoting innovation
FSI promotes innovation by enabling researchers and engineers to explore and develop new ideas and concepts.
Behavior under extreme conditions
The FSI enables the study of the behavior of systems under extreme conditions, whether in space, natural disasters or other challenging environments.

Frequently asked questions
FSI is often combined with numerical simulation methods such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to model and predict the interactions between fluids and structures. This enables engineers and researchers to study the behaviour of systems in complex and realistic scenarios and to optimize products and designs.
The duration depends on the complexity of the project. We can provide a more precise estimate after our initial analysis.
We mainly use the ANSYS application, a leading software for FEM analysis and fluid-structure interaction.
We carry out analyses for a wide range of materials, liquids and gases. We also consider non-linear materials and complex fluid definitions.
Our experience from over 2850 successfully completed projects and our focus on customer satisfaction and adherence to deadlines make us a reliable partner in the field of fluid-structure interaction.
Depending on your needs, we can produce anything from short, targeted presentations of the results to detailed, auditable reports that have already been reviewed by external experts from various auditing organizations.
