Simulation Study/Analysis

A targeted analysis service for early-stage hardware teams who want more than intuition (simplified FEM/FEA).

What’s included:

Geometry review & preparation
Review and, if needed, cleanup/simplification of your CAD model to make it suitable for simulation.
Load cases & constraints definition
Discussion and setup of realistic loading conditions, supports, and use-cases based on how the part will actually be used.
Simulation runs
One or more targeted simulations (e.g., basic static stress, displacement, factor-of-safety exploration; simple comparative scenarios).
Results & recommendations
A short report with visuals (plots, screenshots), key takeaways, and suggested design changes or next steps (thicker here, different fillet there, alt material, etc.).

Perfect for:

Founders asking “is this overbuilt or too close to failure?” before ordering parts
Teams wanting to compare design variants virtually before choosing one to prototype
Designers who aren’t comfortable setting up their own simulations but want engineering-grade input on their parts

How pricing works:

Simple single-part study (one main load case, one part or very simple assembly): starting from $299
More complex or multiple scenarios (multiple parts, multiple load cases, comparison of variants) are custom-quoted, starting from $449
For heavily exploratory work, hourly analysis support can be used after an initial minimum
After reviewing your CAD and goals, Osilab provides a clear fixed quote before any simulation work begins

‍

Clarify use-case & questions

You explain how the part is used, what loads or scenarios you’re worried about, and what decisions you’re trying to make (e.g., “can we thin this wall?” “which geometry is safer?”).

Model prep & setup

Osilab reviews your CAD, simplifies it if needed, and sets up boundary conditions, material properties, and load cases that reflect your real-world use as closely as practical.

Run simulations & sanity checks

One or more simulations are run, and results are checked for realism (does the deformation pattern and magnitude make sense, are there setup issues, etc.).

Results delivery & next steps

You receive a concise set of plots and explanations, plus clear recommendations: where the design is strong, where it’s marginal, and what changes or follow-up analyses would have the biggest impact.
