A Practical Approach
Start with the engineering question
Every project has different loads, constraints, materials, operating environments and acceptance criteria. We begin by understanding your objective and then discuss an appropriate software, support or simulation approach.
- Clarify the design issue, operating envelope and required output.
- Review geometry, materials, boundary conditions and available test data.
- Identify a suitable software workflow or analysis scope.
- Agree on deliverables, assumptions, review points and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pumps, Valves & Rotating Equipment Engineering Support
Can you perform FEA on pump and valve components?
We can discuss structural studies for casings, bodies, covers, flanges, supports and bolted assemblies. The analysis scope depends on material data, pressure and mechanical loads, contact conditions and design criteria.
Can CFD be used for pumps and valves?
CFD can help investigate flow fields, pressure distribution and flow behaviour. Predicting a specific performance curve or cavitation requires an appropriate model, operating data and validation strategy.
Can you analyse rotating equipment vibration?
Modal and dynamic studies may help evaluate vibration-related questions. The suitable approach depends on rotor configuration, bearings, operating speed, excitation and available test data.
Can you support pump and valve software workflows?
Yes, Benedes can discuss relevant CAD, FEA, CFD and fluid-system software, along with implementation, training and technical support.
