2. About Us Spires Engineering are an official Dassault Partner, intimate in the knowledge of all aspects of the CATIA software package allowing us to offer the best support to our clients during every step of design process from inception to finished production design. Set up in 2004, Spires Engineering primarily offered Design Engineering and CAD solution to the Aerospace industry. Over the last 10 years, we have improved, expanded and refined our capacities to offer a wide range of services for the engineering sector including FEA and composite design We have offices across the UK and a global presence with operations in the UAE and India UK UAE INDIA

3. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Design No matter what sector your company operates in, Spires Engineering is able to deliver the right solution. Our design team can operate both on-site or remotely Working with you we can produce documents of detailed drawings so you can portray the finest detail of your designs We can annotate drawings to display ISO/ASME/DIN standard information on the geometry and tolerances of your designs to ensure precision in manufacture As a Dassault partner we can use the latest CATIA software package to produce a 3D surface model of every component of your design. Building from 2D drawings or forming directly in a 3D environment, we have complete freedom to manipulate the design to requirements. Modelled parts can then be assembled into entire systems so you can have analysis of behaviour before the first cut of material is made.

4. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Finite Element Analysis We have strong knowledge and experience in FEA for Aero Structural Components and can transfer our skills to whatever sector your company operates in. We specialise in fatigue and damage tolerance, modelling components using CATIA and performing stress analysis using the leading MSC software packages We can produce detailed finite element models for component assemblies, providing full static and fatigue analysis reports including:  Linear and non-linear static  Modal and dynamic analysis  Fatigue failure prediction  Stress concentrations  Max strain  Bearing  Post buckling All according to design requirements

5. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Composites With a redesign of the Composite workbench in CATIA V5, we at Spires Engineering can offer the best in composite design, utilising the latest techniques available. We can cover the entire spectrum of composite product development, including zone based and grid based laminate definition, global product behaviour We can help you reduce costs and fabrication cycle time by pre-empting shape anomalies caused by manufacturing methods by simulating the manufacturing process and performing necessary compensations to the design

6. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Computational Fluid Dynamics We transfer the models created in CATIA to ANSYS to perform a full analysis of vehicle or component flow Aircraft load and forces calculation and analysis  Ability in post processing result; with the ability to provide vital data in aerodynamic loads, forces and polar graphs necessary for further design decision. Subsonic, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows.  Conducting flows at designed mach number to predict behaviour of the vehicle both globally and locally Laminar and turbulent low analysis.  Simulating vehicles under laminar and turbulent flows to predict shocks under various Reynolds number and using best turbulent models to bring about the best results. External and Internal flow.  Capability of conducting both external and internal flows for various application to provide data for further design analysis Heat transfer  Analysis of thermal boundary layer in given flow field around the component.

7. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Product Life Cycle Management Spires have become increasingly involved in PLM especially with regard to the management of CAD data. Although PLM can mean many different things to different companies, Spires are focused upon the CAD Data Management aspect of PLM. Supporting clients with the introduction of Life cycles, & electronic releasing. Typically helping with introducing rigour and improved version control for releasing of CAD data. For this reason understanding the changing emphasis & demands placed upon the data is critical. Spires have worked with a variety of companies from a range of sectors including Aerospace & Automotive. Spires would be pleased to discuss your needs in more detail. Some recent Company associations include:  Zodiac Aerospace  BAE Defence Systems  Ricardo  GKN  Jaguar Land Rover  Bentley

8. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Manufacturing Spires have experience beyond the product design process. Increased competition, complexity, legislation & high cost to manufacture means that Spires can help clients through the manufacturing stages of a products life. Whether it is for training, consultancy, technical support in GD&T, DFMA, CNC machining, product assembly, change control, BOM & product configuration. Spires have vast experience in helping clients through most manufacturing stages. In the recent past we have worked with a variety of companies from a range of sectors including:  Ford  Ricardo  Honda  BMW  Airbus UK  Fokker Aerospace  Hawker Beech Aircraft  GKN  Jaguar Land Rover

9. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Integrated Product Development Spires believe that providing knowledge and skills for improving methods and processes used in design and manufacture is key to improving a company’s success. New product introductions along with cohesive manufacturing and quality processes need to be deployed and managed as a single entity. Spires Integrated Product Development (IPD) methodology can help to improve both the design and manufacturing cycle, proven to bring immense business benefits through reducing time to market, improving product quality and reducing design and manufacturing costs. Through our collaborative work with Dassault & PERA we are able to provide the very best technical support & advice to your company using Spires own unique IPD approach.

10. WWW.SPIRESENGINEERING.CO.UK Working With Clients Our unique skills and knowledge are currently being widely used in a number of companies. Current project assignments include support for a variety of companies from a range of sectors including:  Strata Aerospace  Airbus UK  Fokker Aerospace  Hawker Beech Aircraft  GKN  Jaguar Land Rover  P.E.R.A  University West England  Coventry University College As a result of increased growth and wider profile, Spires are being approached and offered strategic partnerships which is great news for all our clients since the knowledge transfer is of benefit to all. However client confidentiality remains high priority for all our projects.
