Sales and Consulting
Femap / NX Nastran / LS-Dyna / CFdesign

At Predictive Engineering, finite element analysis (FEA) is our business. We live and breathe it—day in, day out.

We know which tools will work the best for your particular analysis project and we sell and support only the best: Femap / NX Nastran, CFdesign and LS-DYNA.

Bring us your mechanical engineering challenges. We'll do whatever it takes to jump-start your use of FEA. Or, turn the project over to us completely. Our consulting services are widely considered to be a cut above our peer group. The difference? Our dedication to providing the right answers on time and on budget.

Whether it be software solutions or consulting, Predictive Engineering has the knowledge, experience, and technology to help your company take full advantage of FEA.
