Not sure whether your project is the right fit for FEA simulation?
Wondering how long it takes or what it costs? Here are the answers you need before we talk.
Who we are:
How many people at DESIGNTEC work on calculations and software development?
We are a team of 10 senior engineers and software developers. Every team member has direct hands-on experience with advanced simulation or CAE tool development.
How long have you been in business?
DESIGNTEC was founded in 2009. We have been active in the market for over 17 years.
Who have you worked with? What are your references?
We work for clients in automotive, energy, mechanical engineering, and construction. We typically handle complex projects — from structural validation to calculation tool development. Specific projects can be found in the Reference Projects section.
Do you work with clients outside the Czech Republic?
Yes — approximately 80% of our work comes from German-speaking countries. Communication and documentation in German or English is our standard.
What makes you different from a standard CAE firm?
We combine FEA simulation with software development. In addition to CAE analyses, we automate calculations and integrate them into your workflow — making your processes faster and more efficient.
What we do:
What are the main areas of calculation and simulation you cover?
Our core areas:
FEA simulation — static, dynamic, nonlinear, and contact analyses for components and assemblies
Fatigue life assessment — predicting component lifespan under real operating loads, including welds and surface treatments
Structural optimisation — reducing weight and improving performance before the first prototype is built
ANSYS customisation — ACT extensions, APDL scripting, and workflow automation that make your simulation processes faster and repeatable
Which projects benefit most from working with DESIGNTEC?
We add the most value on technically demanding projects — nonlinear simulation, material fatigue, optimisation, or calculation automation. For simple one-off calculations a more straightforward solution may be more appropriate.

How we work:
What do you need from us to prepare a quotation?
Describe the problem or your objectives, attach any available CAD files or drawings, and provide information on materials, loads, and the required output.
How long does a typical project take?
Simpler projects take a few days; more complex analyses or development projects take several weeks. The exact estimate depends on the scope of your project. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes, of course.
In which languages do you deliver technical reports?
In English, German, and Czech.
Commercial terms:
What is your hourly rate?
Our hourly rate depends on the type of project and the expertise of the specialists involved. Our rates start from 64 EUR/ hour. We will prepare a precise calculation based on your brief.
Do you also handle smaller projects?
Yes — we work on both large-scale engagements and individual assessments or one-off consultations. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation.
