Mechanical Engineering Analysis and Test

Focus on Fatigue

MoreVision has developed a number of programs to post-process finite element results, calculate fatigue damage and to plot damage directly onto the FE mesh. The assessments cover code of practices used in many countries (UK - BS7608, France -UIC 515-4 Goodman Diagram, German DIN 15 018, Swedish Volvo standards)
Experimental Methods

MoreVision strain gauge testing compliments its analysis services.
Software Success

MoreVision has sold its innovative engineering calculation software Research Engineers Inc. for worldwide distribution. The product has already earned MoreVision a DTI SMART award for innovation.
Composite Analysis

MoreVision has extensive experience in the modelling composite materials.
Dynamic Analysis
Avoid resonance by performing a dynamic analysis.
Plastic Analysis
What happens when stress rises above yield? - it may not be as severe a situation as you think.

 Bogies, Trucks and Adapters

MoreVision works very closely with Bombardier Bogie division. Typically models are supplied by the client by email and Morevision are asked to undertake the static and fatigue assessments and prepare the reports for submission to the end client. MoreVision has developed a number of programs to post-process finite element results which help to reduce the cost of fatigue assessments.

  Non-Tilting Bogies for Virgin

The bogie is used on the non-tilting Virgin Voyager vehicles.

  Tilting Bogies for Virgin

The bogie is used on the tilting Virgin Voyager vehicles.

 M6 Bolster Adapter

The M6 vehicles are for use in France so two fatigue assessments were performed to show that is compliant with UK and French fatigue standards. The methods of assessment are completely different.

  Bolster Adapter for Double-Deck Bodyshell

This is a half model of an adapter for a double-deck bodyshell. The vehicles are for use in France so two fatigue assessments were performed to show that is compliant with UK and French fatigue standards. The methods of assessment are completely different.

  Caracas Bogie

This is a half model of bogie which in in service in Caracas in Venezuela.

  Bolster Adapter for Tilting Train

Bogies are attached to the bodyshell via adapters. design of the adapter is often just as extensive as the design of the bogie. This particular adapter is further complicated due to the tilting mechanism on the train.

Top Software Tools

MoreVision have some 20 years experience of problem solving with ANSYSŪ. They have developed a library of macros and software tools customizing ANSYS for specific problems.
Bolted Joint Analysis
MoreVision uses 'Boltcalc' software in conjunction with FEA for fast & accurate assessments.
Partnering Client Design Teams
Will it fall off? Is it strong enough? How long will it last? These are the questions on the minds of many designers. MoreVision can team up to perform simple strength assessments to allow designers to move forward with the confidence that their designs will ultimately satisfy structural criteria.
Independent Design Audits
A fresh pair of eyes can offer an new  insight into design critical problems.
Fixed Price Contracts
Whenever possible MoreVision offers fixed price contracts from the outset of a project.
Failure Investigations
Simply strengthening an area may not give you the results you want and could make the problem worse. Before a solution can even be considered it is imperative that the mechanics of the failure are completely understood.
