At {R4} Solutions, mechanical design starts with the fundamentals.
The power of Finite Element Analysis is in the validation and optimization of designs. Before this resource is tapped, the {R4} design approach seeks to take every engineering challenge back to first principles. It is this critical step that results in 80% design completion in 20% percent of the time. This front-end loaded approach allows for more time perfecting designs and less time fixing problems.
The power and accuracy of FEA can only be unlocked when built on a solid foundation of Free-Body Analyses and Classical Beam Theory. Similarly the utility of a CAD program can be multiplied tenfold by integrating graphical methods directly into the component model.
{R4} Solutions seeks to balance Classical Engineering’s ability to simplify with the staggering power of Modern Engineering Tools.
