Simulation and Analysis
Simulation and analysis help engineers understand how products and systems will perform before committing to physical hardware. By evaluating designs under expected operating conditions, engineers can identify potential issues, optimize performance, and make informed design decisions earlier in the development process.
Effective engineering demands more than physical testing, it requires rigorous simulation and analysis.
Engineering Insight Before Hardware Is Built
STL Engineering uses simulation and analysis to support the development of rugged electronic and mechanical systems, working alongside our mechanical, electrical, software, and product engineering teams. By incorporating analysis throughout the design process, we help identify potential failure modes, reduce development risk, and improve confidence in system performance before qualification and deployment. This integrated approach allows STL to evaluate designs as complete systems while supporting efficient development, design refinement, and turnkey end-to-end product solutions.
Structural Analysis
Predict Design Performance
Mechanical structures and enclosures must withstand the loads and conditions they encounter throughout their operational life. STL Engineering uses engineering analysis to evaluate structural performance and identify opportunities to improve strength, durability, and overall design efficiency.
Typical capabilities include:
-
Static structural analysis
-
Stress and strain analysis
-
Deformation analysis
-
Load and boundary condition evaluation
-
Factor of safety assessment
-
Structural optimization

Dynamic & Environmental Analysis
Evaluate Performance Under Real-World Conditions
Rugged products must remain reliable when subjected to vibration, shock, acceleration, and other dynamic conditions. Simulation and analysis can help evaluate these effects early in development and identify potential weaknesses before physical testing.
STL Engineering supports the evaluation of mechanical and structural response under demanding operating conditions, helping teams refine designs and prepare products for verification and qualification.
Typical capabilities include:
-
Vibration analysis
-
Shock and dynamic loading
-
Modal analysis
-
Resonance evaluation
-
Environmental load assessment
-
Fatigue considerations
-
Test and qualification support
Simulation provides engineers with a way to evaluate design alternatives, investigate potential problems, and optimize performance before committing to tooling or production hardware. STL Engineering integrates analysis with the broader product development process, using simulation results to guide design decisions and support verification activities. This helps reduce physical iteration while increasing confidence in the final design.
Typical capabilities include:
-
Design optimization
-
Design trade studies
-
Performance prediction
-
Failure mode investigation
-
Design verification
-
Correlation with physical testing
