Engineering Confidence Through Precision Simulation

At Oxta Design Australia, our Simulation and Testing services help you make informed design decisions before a single part is manufactured. Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we model how products behave under real-world loads, thermal environments, fluid flows, and stress conditions — allowing you to optimise designs, reduce failures, and lower costs.

 

Based in Sydney and serving businesses across Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, we deliver simulation engineering that meets Australia’s performance, safety, and compliance requirements.

 

Whether you’re designing a consumer product, industrial enclosure, structural system, or fluid-handling component, we help you validate and refine it with simulation you can trust.

Why Simulation & Testing Matter

In a competitive Australian manufacturing environment, it’s no longer enough to design “what looks good.” You need to design “what works perfectly.”

 

Simulation enables:

  • Risk Reduction – Identify design weaknesses early in the process

  • Cost Savings – Reduce reliance on costly prototypes

  • Performance Validation – Test strength, stiffness, vibration, fatigue, and fluid flow

  • Compliance Assurance – Design to meet Australian Standards and industry codes

  • Optimisation – Improve material efficiency, reduce weight, and enhance durability

 

Whether you’re a Sydney-based startup or a nationwide OEM, simulation gives you the engineering insight to launch robust, reliable products.

Our Simulation & Testing Services

We combine advanced simulation technology with deep practical engineering experience. Our team includes mechanical engineers, thermal analysts, and simulation specialists who understand both software and shop-floor realities.

 

1. Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Our FEA services include:

  • Linear Static Analysis – Stress and deformation under load

  • Non-linear Analysis – Contact, material yielding, large deformation

  • Thermal Simulation – Steady-state and transient heat transfer

  • Vibration & Modal Analysis – Frequencies, modes, and resonance

  • Fatigue & Lifecycle Prediction – High-cycle, low-cycle, welded joints

  • Impact & Drop Testing – Simulate shock, fall, or dynamic loading events

We work with a range of materials: metals, polymers, composites, and rubber — using material data calibrated for Australian suppliers and standards.

 

2. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Our CFD capabilities include:

  • Airflow & Ventilation Simulation – HVAC systems, electronics cooling

  • Water Flow & Drainage – Channels, tanks, pumps, and flow devices

  • Thermal Management – Heat sink design, natural/forced convection

  • Aerodynamic & Drag Analysis – External flow studies

  • Multiphase & Particle Flow – Spray, mixing, and slurries for mining/agriculture

 

We use CFD to simulate indoor environments, sealed electronics, wind loads, heat exchangers, and fluid networks across sectors.

 

3. Physical Testing Integration

Simulation doesn’t replace testing — it complements it. Where needed, we support:

  • Prototype build & instrumentation

  • Load and pressure testing

  • Strain gauge data collection

  • Vibration testing

  • Thermal imaging and real-world heat measurements

 

We use test results to refine simulation models, validate assumptions, and improve accuracy.

Tools & Platforms We Use

We use industry-standard, high-accuracy simulation tools:

 

  • SolidWorks Simulation / FEA Premium

  • Ansys Mechanical & Fluent

  • Autodesk CFD & Nastran

  • Siemens Simcenter Femap

  • COMSOL Multiphysics (on request)

 

These are supported by CAD platforms like SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and NX — ensuring seamless handoff between design and simulation.

Industry Applications in Australia

Our simulation services support clients across:

 

  • Consumer Products – Drop resistance, ergonomic fatigue, heat buildup

  • Mining & Resources – Slurry flow, pressure vessels, tank design

  • Manufacturing – Machinery loading, weld fatigue, press tools

  • Transport – Bracketry, vibration, aerodynamic testing

  • Agriculture – Irrigation flow, dustproofing, solar exposure analysis

Why Choose Oxta Design for Simulation & Testing?

1. Australian Conditions, Simulated Right

We factor in real-world Australian loads — sun, heat, wind, dust, water ingress — to simulate how your product will truly perform.

 

2. Engineers Who Understand Manufacturing
We’re not just analysts. We’ve designed real products and worked with Australian manufacturers, so our simulations align with real-world fabrication constraints.

 

3. Clear Communication of Complex Data
Simulation is only useful if you understand it. We deliver visual, plain-English reports and design recommendations — not just rainbow charts.

 

4. Fast Turnarounds, Local Support
Whether you’re in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or regional NSW, we offer responsive support, secure file handling, and reliable delivery timelines.

Collaboration Process

  1. Project Brief & Objectives – What do you need to simulate and why?

  2. Data Gathering – CAD files, loads, materials, constraints

  3. Initial Simulation Run – Baseline results with current design

  4. Iterative Optimisation – Design changes and performance boosts

  5. Final Report & Recommendations – Detailed findings and DFM guidance

 

We work flexibly — whether as your outsourced simulation partner or embedded within your product development team.

Sydney-Based, Australia-Wide Service

While our simulation engineers are based in Sydney, we’ve supported projects in:

 

  • Melbourne – Tooling simulation, thermal cases for electronics

  • Brisbane – Pipe stress analysis, pump systems

  • Adelaide – Medical devices and lightweight structures

  • Perth – Mining chutes, slurry flow, dust resistance

  • Regional NSW & VIC – Solar devices, water tanks, trailers, HVAC

 

We serve startups, manufacturers, universities, and R&D hubs across Australia.
