Pressure packed

For some projects, we conduct an analysis of the design before any parts are made. In the example above, we used Nastran finite element analysis (FEA) software to investigate the loading on a vacuum lid design. By putting the design through a simulated test like this, we can see if there are any areas where the part needs strengthening or where we can reduce the material and still achieve the desired results.
