Through numerous CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems available in the Centre, it is possible to project and design complex apparatus and mechanic components, develop structural calculations with finite elements, simulate fluid movement, and create complex machining processess for machine tools.

Meccano is able to perform feasibility study and design of systems, equipment and components through the most innovative Computer Aided Engineering (CAD /CAM):

• CAD / CAM design with systems such as Catia, Unigraphics, Solid Edge, Pro-Engineering.
• Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to make structural, thermal, dynamic, and fluid-dynamic calculations; comparison with laboratory tests.
• Optimization of the processes through specific modeling software.
• Fast prototyping and reverse engineering
