Analysing complex weldments can be a breeze…
Have you got a
complex weldment that's showing signs of fatigue, but you just can't seem to
analyse it correctly? Obviously half the battle is getting realistic loads to
apply, and we're pretty good at that. But even better we've developed some very
straight forward and robust modelling techniques to help make running a Finite
Element Analysis (FEA) a breeze. Weldments have always been a challenge, but we
think we've got them licked. The proofs in the pudding, so give us a call to
discuss your problems or our success stories!
Motovated Design
and Analysis Website Launched!

Motovated
has established a world wide presence with it new website. Though not
entirely finished, it's a work in progress, and we hope it gives a
significant feel for the type of work we do and how we go about it. In the
near future, we hope to include a series of articles on how to work with
mechanical engineers, and even some detail on how we work, and why we do
things the way we do. Once again thanks goes to customers that have
contributed their valuable renderings to the website. We value your
feedback, so pop us an email if you think something is not quite right!

Engineers are
helpful, even in death…
An
engineer dies and reports to hell. Pretty soon, the engineer becomes
dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and
building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush
toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy. One day God
calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer: "So, how's it going down
there in hell?" Satan replies: "Hey things are going great. We've got air
conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this
engineer is going to come up with next." God replies: "What??? You've got an
engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have gotten down there; send him
back up here." Satan says: "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and
I'm keeping him." God says: "Send him back up here or I'll sue." Satan laughs
uproariously and answers: "Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a
lawyer?

Recent Successes
We've had quite a
bit of fun with booms and sticks for forestry specific excavators in the past
couple of months, and here's a couple of renderings of Steel & Track's CAT 320C
and CAT 325C versions.
Thanks again for
you continued support,
