Engineering Analysis (CAE)

During the product design and development process, engineering analysis and testing provides a significant benefit to the manufacturer. By understanding how a design is likely to perform, breakdown, or potentially fail in different simulated conditions, parts and assemblies can be optimized before they are manufactured.

DISHER can perform the following types of analysis to improve your design, save time, reduce costs, and mitigate risk:

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
    • Static Analysis
    • Dynamic Analysis
    • Thermal Analysis
    • Nonlinear Analysis
    • Topology Optimization
    • Modal Analysis
    • Random Response Vibration
    • Frequency Analysis
    • Multibody Dynamics Analysis (MBD)
  • Mold Flow Analysis
  • Rigid Body Kinematics

Project Management

Do you need a project manager/engineer to drive a people, product, or process project through to completion on time and on budget? DISHER has a seasoned pool of PM professionals to choose from who draw upon their experience, skills, tools, and best-practice techniques to serve you with excellence.

Our project managers lead with winsome soft skills and positive influence.

We offer project management services for a variety of projects like:
