Why this service

What Failure Investigation Support can help you understand

Simulation can test failure hypotheses by comparing predicted hot spots, overload paths, thermal gradients, vibration modes, or flow abnormalities with fracture, microscopy, test, and service evidence.…

01

Turn observations into testable failure hypotheses.

Overload, fatigue, buckling, thermal, or flow hypotheses

02

Identify the minimum model fidelity needed.

As-designed versus as-built comparison

03

Separate likely causes from secondary damage.

What-if checks for corrective actions

Choose the scope

Start from the question, not the tool

The method, preparation route and reporting depth depend on what you need to decide.

Overload, fatigue, buckling, thermal, or flow hypotheses

Turn observations into testable failure hypotheses.

Best used when
Turn observations into testable failure hypotheses.
Typical result
Failure-hypothesis ranking
Preparation note
Declare confidentiality, file, access or delivery constraints in advance.

Common outputs

A result package matched to the decision you need to make

Fields, conditions, processing and file formats are confirmed before work begins.

StandardFailure-hypothesis ranking

A representative output from Failure Investigation Support with agreed units, labels, and revision status.

StandardHot-spot and evidence correlation

Checks, tolerances, convergence, uncertainty, or inspection evidence appropriate to the service.

OptionalCorrective-action scenarios

A concise interpretation connecting the deliverable to the customer decision.

Input requirements

What to provide before work begins

Provide representative, clearly labelled inputs and identify the decision, feature or comparison that matters.

Suitable inputSubmission requirementPlanning note
Project input or design fileProvide the current design, objective, constraints and required deliverables for technical review.Declare confidentiality, file, access or delivery constraints in advance.

Objective: state the decision, comparison or acceptance criterion the work must support.

Handling and access: declare hazards, instability, confidentiality, file constraints or special logistics before dispatch or transfer.

Questions and answers

Common planning decisions

Short answers to issues that can change preparation, scope, timing or interpretation.

What inputs are needed for Failure Investigation Support?

A clean CAD model or dimensioned geometry, with the required units and coordinate system.

Which service option should I choose?

Start with Overload, fatigue, buckling, thermal, or flow hypotheses; the final option is confirmed against the required decision and acceptance criteria.

What will I receive?

Typical outputs include failure-hypothesis ranking, hot-spot and evidence correlation, corrective-action scenarios. Final files follow the confirmed reporting scope.

How long will it take?

Delivery timing is confirmed after the project inputs, scope and dependencies have been reviewed.
