Engineering Calculations & Analysis
For Production Machinery & Industrial Equipment
At MDP Engineering, we deliver advanced engineering calculations and analyses for production machinery and structures. Our services support manufacturing engineers, maintenance managers, and plant owners who need data-driven verification of their designs.
We provide FEA simulations, risk assessments, and FMEA aligned with international standards (ISO/EN) and with consideration for US safety and compliance requirements. The result: designs with proven durability under demanding loads and shorter, more predictable design cycles.
Applications & Industries
Automotive:
structural components, frames, carriers, tooling, and drive-system component
Shipbuilding & Maritime:
strength and stiffness of marine structures, skids, platforms, and handling equipment
Pharmaceutical & Food:
hygienic machine components, frames, and tooling operating under cyclic and washdown loads
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Our experienced engineers perform advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for industrial machinery and structural components, focusing on durability, safety, and optimization.
This service is dedicated to engineering and maintenance teams who want to catch problems before they appear on the shop floor. By simulating loads and boundary conditions, we help you reduce material overdesign, avoid critical stress hotspots, and improve long-term reliability.
Types of FEA We Perform
- Static analyses – stresses and deformations under steady loads
- Modal & dynamic analyses – natural frequencies, vibration behavior, and impact scenarios
- Thermal analyses – heat flow, temperature distribution, and thermal expansion
- Fatigue analyses – service life under cyclic loading and variable duty cycle
FEA Deliverables
01.
Detailed FEA report with visuals of stress, strain, and deformation, along with engineering conclusions
02.
Updated 3D model with recommended design changes for improved performance and manufacturability
03.
Documentation aligned with relevant ISO/EN standards, ready to support your internal approvals and external audits.
Risk Analysis & FMEA
We provide systematic risk analysis and FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) for machines and production processes.
This service helps plant owners and production leaders identify potential failures early, prioritize corrective actions, and reduce unplanned downtime.
Scope of Work
- Identification of potential failure modes and their effects (FMEA)
- Risk assessment based on probability, severity, and detectability
- Evaluation of failure scenarios and load cases (including overload factors where appropriate)
- Recommendations for design improvements, safety functions, and maintenance strategies
Benefits
- Lower risk of unplanned downtime through predictive, data-based decisions
- Support in meeting international safety and compliance expectations (ISO/EN, CE-related for EU equipment)
- Shorter and more controlled commissioning and ramp-up phases for new lines and equipment
Documentation & Compliance
For projects that require full documentation packages, we can complement calculations and analysis with our Documentation & Compliance services:
-
Technical documentation (drawings, BOMs)
-
Safety and compliance files (risk assessments, verification reports)
-
Operating and maintenance manuals
This ensures a clean, traceable documentation set that supports audits and aligns with your internal quality system.
