High Precision Mechanical Design
We offer a deep understanding of the complexities involved in design and assembly of high-precision systems where mechanical performance, thermal stability, and manufacturability must be perfectly aligned. Our expertise lies in solving challenges necessary for achieving highly precise and repeatable positioning of components, ensuring stress- and deformation-free fastening of subcomponents and additionally minimizing thermal deformation during the operation of highly sensitive systems to prevent drift and distortion.

Simulation / Numerical Analysis
Our computational engineering team provides comprehensive simulation in fluid and solid domains, addressing thermal, mechanical, and acoustic phenomena. We are specialized in predicting and mitigating pressure pulsations, flow-induced vibrations, thermal drift, and structural deformation down to the nanometer scale — ensuring reliable and efficient system performance from early concept to field validation. Benefit from our methodology that combines fast-running 0D/1D system-level simulations with detailed 3D analyses — enabling early detection of vibration, noise, and thermal/mechanical performance issues.

- CFD-Based Flow & Multiphase Simulation (incl. Flow-Induced Vibration)
- Thermal & Thermomechanical Simulation
- Structural & Material Behavior Simulation (Simulation of hyper-/ visco- elastic Materials (e.g. rubber components))
Acoustics and Vibration
At the micron scale, even the smallest vibration can blur features, cause pattern errors, and reduce yield. To guarantee reproducibility and consistent quality, disturbances must be minimized to the absolute limit. The AVL Precision Engineering Team provides end-to-end solutions for vibration suppression and waterline acoustic optimization — ensuring your most sensitive systems perform with accuracy and stability. Our highly specialized 0D/1D duct acoustics team helps you predict and mitigate pressure, flow, and force oscillations in fluid-filled piping systems. Through advanced modeling and system-level analysis, we detect potential vibration, noise, and performance issues early in the development process.
