Sensitivity Analysis and Robustness Analysis

3D-Response-Surface-Diagramm einer Sensitivitätsanalyse mit Parametervariation und Optimalpunkt-Markierung

For more in-depth examinations of your components, based on FEM structure calculations, we offer you the sensitivity analysis and the robustness analysis.

In the context of sensitivity analysis, we can identify the optimisation potential of your components. Through corresponding methods, we are capable of identifying the sensitive controlling variables on which you can base optimisation strategies.

Robustness analyses allow us to select the ideal concept for your component, guaranteeing the required component properties (load capacity, weight, or production complexity) while taking into consideration varying boundary conditions (e.g. production tolerances or difficulties quantifying environmental conditions at the customer location). To this end, we work with you to define spatial and physical limits within which your component can be permitted to move. We then calculate the ideal design for your application and the ideal operating point.

Highly specialised software keeps the complexity of the respective method as low as possible, in order to allow your component to be optimised in accordance with your priorities. The fields of application range here from selection of suitable sheet thicknesses or the ideal form of a recess, all the way up to complex design optimisations.
