Complex Composites Design and Structural Assessments at Frewer Engineering

Frewer Engineering says it has specialist expertise in complex composites design and structural assessments. In the above image we see a case study of a high-pressure type IV carbon-wrapped hydrogen fuel tank, to be used in a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Its team use combined composite design and analysis capabilities to produce synthesised layup models, for fast design iteration and optimisation. These are followed up with full composite layup models, for structural assurance in support of final certification. Working closely with our manufacturing partners, in this case CCP Gransden in Ballygowan, Northern Ireland, Frewer has developed unique in-house software tools which allow it to translate between CAD/CAM robotic filament winding software, and its own structural analysis software, enabling different filament-wound designs to be modelled swiftly and accurately. CCPs have a wealth of robotic infrastructure and tooling, ideal for prototyping and early-stage development trials.
