Background

About Sean Burrows

Mechanical and multi-physics simulation for engineering design and manufacture, and associated computer-aided engineering solutions. Consultation, training and technical account management for global leaders and local start-ups alike. Clients across mining, energy, space, transport, civil, aerospace, sport, consumer products, research and education. Technical expertise at LEAP means we can evaluate new tools and approaches, facilitate their early adoption, and develop a collective best practice with our peers and clients. Ask me about: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Discrete Element Method (DEM) Virtual prototyping Design optimisation Forensic/root-cause analysis Digital Twins and Reduced Order Models (ROMs) Fatigue and fracture Vibration and vibrational fatigue Noise vibration harshness (NVH) vibro-acoustics Impact, shock, drop test and other nonlinear dynamics Standard/code checking Thermal management Solutions for rotating machines Thermal, electrical, mechanical, fluid, structure multi-physics coupled analysis Automation and customisation + all things computer-aided engineering. Going green? Consider these scenarios: A design optimisation aiming to reduce mass, material, or energy consumption; Testing an equivalent material with lower embodied carbon; Designing for variability in the properties of a recycled material; Extending the life of an existing asset by predictive maintenance; Verifying failure modes if failure does occur, and assessing retrofit solutions; Or simply fast-tracking disruptive technologies to market.> What role do you think the virtual engineering environment has to play in a transition to a sustainable economy?
