Design

MakStride specializes in product design from paper to prototype to production. MakStride uses all the latest 3D Modeling tools, coupled with all the latest analysis tools to produce an optimized design ready for proto-typing. With waterjet cutting, CNCing, investment casting, form molding, polishing, and injection molding methods at its disposal, MakStride designs products optimized for performance, longevity, and value.

3D Geometry

Using the latest solid modeling CAD software, our engineers can import your legacy geometry, modify existing models, or create new designs from the ground up to provide geometry for finite element analysis.

We can import and export geometry in most any format, to include Solidworks®, Autocad®, Pro/ENGINEER, Catia®, Iges, parasolid, BRL-CAD™, Step, ACIS, VRML, Solid Edge®, Inventor®, FASTGEN®, and more. Our competent design staff can easily and efficiently create the geometry you desire.

Finite Element Analysis

MakStride has expertise in dynamic analysis with impacts and large deformations as well as static problems where component strength and design are evaluated. Our experienced engineers utilize data gathered from programs such as LS-DYNA , MSC.Nastran™ , ANSYS® , Abaqus™, and CTH to provide our clients with the most accurate analysis available.

Our high performance computing capabilities include a 4-cpu high performance workstation featuring 16 gigabytes of ram, four 2.4 gigahertz opteron™ 64 bit processors and 1 terabyte of disk space. We also have and multiple stand alone work stations.

Mesh Generation

Makstride can create a custom mesh using a combination of Hypermesh®, ANSYS® , FEMAP®, MSC.PATRAN®, Truegrid®, Ls-Dyna prepost, and in-house software to insure proper mesh refinement and quality in the most critical places and in any other areas of interest. It doesn't matter what format your native geometry is, we can handle it. Our engineers have the experience and know how to guarantee that the mesh will exceed the accepted quality criteria required for the most accurate results.
