Desing for function

DCA’s engineering team has the strong, broad based theoretical background to ensure that our functional designs are practical, efficient and reliable.

Computer based tools are used extensively to optimise performance in conjunction with physical rig building and prototyping. Linear and non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA), numerical solvers, behavioural modelling, mechanism animation and kinematics modelling are all available in-house.

Rigs and prototypes are used throughout the development process to validate the computer analysis and confirm that the appropriate levels of performance have been met.
