Mechanical
Winchester Electronics engineers use highly advanced, best-in-class software tools, equipment, and technologies during the design, development, and verification/validation phases of their projects. Parts are first designed in a 3D CAD environment and then seamlessly imported into Ansys for simulation.
Simulation
Advanced engineering tools help us to design a 3D model then simulate it to obtain the required mechanical and electrical performance. A common modeling environment allows rapid bi-directional modification of geometry and collaboration worldwide.
- 3D Solid Modeling using Solidworks®.
- Early Design cycle simulation using Ansys Multiphysics® to increase first-pass success before prototypes are made.
- Characterization and verification of prototypes using physical testing.
3D Mechanical Analysis
Types of simulation
- Insertion and withdrawal forces.
- Thermal growth of assemblies.
- Contact normal force.
- Latching forces.
- Optimization of features based on required forces
Thermal/Stress
Optimization
Simulating operational environments with software tools allows functional optimization of the design with rapid, multiple “What-If” scenarios to find the best solution.
Testing
Types of Verification Testing
- Insertion and withdrawal forces using Instron® universal testing machine.
- Latching forces using Instron® universal testing machine.
- Environmental Shock and Vibration testing to demonstrate continuity in vibration environments.
Instron-Mechanical
- Computer controlled testing
- Insertion and removal forces.
- Latching forces.
- Correlation of simulated models to actual part
Ling-Shock & Vibration
- Computer controlled testing.
- Verification of contact requirements in a real vibration environment.
- Simulation of industry standard environmental conditions.
- Correlation of simulated models to actual parts.
- Discontinuity testing
