Best Engineering Designing & Simulation in-house facitity

 

Thoroughly all designs are tested in computer simulations so that changes can be made before an actual prototype is even manufactured. Our test press is accurate.

BEC use powerful tools in design development and detailed occupant simulation to meet all safety, weight and comfort, performance requirements of all our equipment’s designs to achieve the optimal balance of durability, acoustics, assembly and performance. These are the leading solutions for performing dynamic simulations on the impact of metallic and composite structures. These software design benefit from an optimal robustness, impact, and transmission efficiency.

We have 3D modeler “ SOLID WORKS” which facilitates pattern design. Other than modeling software we also are fully equipped with the Solidification Simulation package “Magma Soft” through which we can check sample casting up to NDT quality Level – I , before producing it in the shop floor.
