Consultancy, Training and Support
AC&E offers a range of software consultancy, training and support services designed to ensure you get the best from our manufacturing simulation and design engineering analysis software.
Consultancy
Our consultancy team has many years experience in undertaking projects quickly and efficiently working closely alongside our customers in the following areas:
- CFD and FEA projects covering engineering analysis, simulation and visualisation.
- Off-line programming (OLP) to assist in the selection of the best robotic / CMM / CNC machine ahead of investing in OLP software, see our Daimler Chrysler case study.
- Advising on the most appropriate hardware platform to complement the use of particular analysis software, see our Lockheed-Martin case study.
Training
AC&E provides training in simulation, analysis and operating systems software which is tailored to meet your specific company and project needs. Training is provided either at your offices or our training centre. Our training services include:
- Training in all aspects of ACE&E's own manufacturing simulation software.
- Training in design engineering analysis and process optimisation, in collaboration with our software partners.
- Training in UNIX and Linux operating systems optimisation designed to enable you to streamline and fine tune computing resource and reduce analyses times.
Support
AC&E takes a holistic approach to support that covers both software and computing resource, reflecting the tightly integrated nature of both elements in analysis and simulation work. Following an audit of the customer’s IT systems, we can provide a, cost-competitive, bespoke annual maintenance support package for design and manufacture software typically including upgrades and new releases, and we also offer similar special individual hardware support for conventional maintenance and to cover special situations (for example where hardware configurations are reaching ‘end of life’ but support is still needed for critical elements).
