Bastion generates and applies models, simulations, and other analytical tools to support product synthesis, trades, and definition. Our analysis capability includes producing complete and accurate assessments, identifying and quantifying risks, and providing recommended controls and abatement measures. Analysis services include:

• Structural Analysis
• Thermal Analysis
• Fluid Dynamics
• Stability Control
• Coupled Loads Analysis
• Material and Geometric (Non-linear Behaviors)

Bastion's skilled engineering staff performs classical stress analyses, finite element analyses, and interaction analyses. Our major strengths lie in preparing computational models for fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis. We also conduct model correlation of static/dynamic loads test data and develop multi-body (rigid and flexible dynamics) models of robotic systems operations and large-scale structure. Dynamic analysis includes Transient and Frequency analysis. Additionally, our engineers perform verification and readiness of control software. Tools used include:

• NASTRAN
• PATRAN
• Thermal Desktop
• SACS
• MECHANICA
• ALGOR
• MATLAB
• STAAD Pro
• STRUCAD
• FEMAP
• ANSYS
• I-DEAS
• SIMULINK
