Engineering Calculations by Hand
"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler" - Albert Einstein

As you have likely determined from the sequencing of our section headers, we drive our process from simple to complex -- starting with simple models and engineering calculations and building up from there.

Projects ranging from simple analog devices to sophisticated electro-mechanical medical instruments all start from the same foundations in physics. That’s why we try to break things down to the simplest principles early in the development cycle. This includes extensive use of engineering calculations by hand to get our heads around the fundamental physics at work.

At the heart of all numerical simulations lie the fundamental laws of physics -- whether one executes these by hand, with a spreadsheet, or via engineering calculators -- the fundamental governing principles remain unchanged.

All of our engineers are well versed in engineering calculations: we have decades of combined experience, most of our engineering consulting team members hold advanced degrees and all are well versed in CAD. Nonetheless, we rely daily on our foundational knowledge of physics and the engineering calculations it brings.

While computer-based simulations and numerical engineering calculations have come a long way, the reassuring value of a simple (or sometimes not-so-simple!) hand calculation is indispensable.
