Ellis Engineered uses Finite Element Analysis to predict composite strains and deflections before a part is ever built. Recently we analysed a skiff dinghy structure using the client’s specified laminate schedule. The model predicted 2.1 mm of bending deflection. The independent survey measurement recorded 1.9 mm.
If your next composite structure relies on assumed laminates, you are accepting unknown performance. Ellis Engineered provides quantified behaviour before manufacture, so design decisions are based on evidence, not assumption.
