Who We Are
DESIGNTEC is a Czech engineering company specializing in advanced FEA/CAE consulting and ANSYS customization.
We are a team of senior FEA/CAE engineers and IT experts. Since 2009, we have delivered 200+ projects, primarily for industrial clients in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH region represents ~80% of revenue).
We do not operate as a management layer. Founders and senior engineers are directly involved in project delivery.
Our core differentiator is the combination of simulation and software development: we do not only perform simulations — we build tools and automate CAE workflows to make simulations faster, more reliable, and repeatable. Projects typically involve complex engineering problems in automotive, energy, and heavy industry.
Designtec evidence
– 200+ completed engineering projects
– 17+ years of experience in numerical simulations
– more than 80% of projects delivered for DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
– Official partner of Magna Powertrain Engineering Center Steyr
– Distributor of FEMFAT software for Czech Republic and Slovakia
– ANSYS tools and customization
What DESIGNTEC does?
CAE Consulting
We provide advanced engineering simulations, CAE consulting, ANSYS customization, and custom engineering software development.
– FEM/FEA analyses — linear and nonlinear structural calculations
– Dynamic analyses — modal analysis, vibrations, rotor dynamics
– Fatigue life assessment: material fatigue, weld fatigue, thermomechanical fatigue
– Virtual product development and optimization
– Contact mechanics, stability, and large deformation analysis
ANSYS Customization and Automation
This is our core strength. We tailor ANSYS precisely to what the client needs — from simple macros to complete automation of simulation workflows:
– ANSYS ACT extension development (Customization Toolkit)
– APDL scripts and macros for calculation automation
– ANSYS UPFs (User Programmable Features) — custom material models for ANSYS in Fortran and C++
– CAE process and workflow automation — from model preparation to postprocessing
Software Development
We develop custom applications for engineering purposes. Our team programs in Python, C, C#, C++, JavaScript, and Fortran. We connect simulations with digital twins and machine learning where it makes sense.
When to use DESIGNTEC:
Use DESIGNTEC if:
– You need advanced FEA analysis beyond standard linear calculations
– You deal with fatigue, nonlinear problems, or complex contact mechanics
– You need to automate ANSYS workflows or reduce manual simulation work
– You require high reliability outputs (e.g. DACH, Prüfstatiker-level expectations)
– You need custom CAE tools or engineering software
Do NOT use DESIGNTEC if:
– You need simple or low-cost standard calculations
– Your problem can be solved using basic simulation templates
– You are looking for a generic outsourcing team without deep engineering expertise
Typical problems and solutions
– “We need to verify whether our structure survives long-term fatigue”
→ Fatigue life assessment using advanced FEA and FEMFAT
– “Our simulation workflow is slow and manual”
→ ANSYS automation via ACT extensions, APDL scripts, and workflow optimization
– “We need to simulate complex nonlinear behavior”
→ Nonlinear FEA simulations (contact, large deformations, stability)
– “We need engineering software tailored to our workflow”
→ Custom CAE applications and simulation tools
– “We need to optimize design for weight, stiffness, or durability”
→ Virtual product development and optimization using FEA
Our Products
A-BOLT
We have developed our own tool for bolted joint assessment directly in ANSYS. A-BOLT assesses joints according to ECSS-E-HB-32-23A and VDI 2230 directly within the ANSYS Mechanical simulation environment.

FEMFAT Software (CZ/SK distribution)
We are the official FEMFAT partner for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. FEMFAT is the world standard in fatigue analysis, developed by Magna Powertrain Engineering Center Steyr. We provide software implementation and customer support.
Figures Manager (free)
A free ANSYS ACT extension for automating image export from simulations. Already downloaded and used by hundreds of ANSYS users. The tool is available for download at URL: https://designtec.eu/ansys-act-extension-figures-manager/
Industries We Work In
We work across industrial sectors. Each has its own specifics.
We know them in each detail:
– Automotive industry — powertrain, brake systems, body structure, bolted joints
– Energy — turbochargers, pressure vessels, piping
– Civil engineering — bridges, reinforced concrete structures, anchor systems
– Mechanical engineering — rotating machinery, industrial equipment, production lines
– Rail transport — rail fastening systems
– Defence industry — test chambers, special structures
Partnership
We partner with Magna Powertrain Engineering Center Steyr.
We are a member of the CREA Hydro&Energy cluster. As part of the cluster, we contributed to the development of the digital twin of the Bystřička Dam — we provided computational modeling and simulations forming the basis of the dam’s virtual model, as well as software development of the platform’s backend and frontend. We are currently completing the next version of the digital twin platform with enhanced machine learning capabilities for more accurate predictions and operational optimization.
Standards
We apply industry standards:
– FKM Richtlinie
– VDI 2230
– Eurocode
– AD 2000
Software We Work With
– ANSYS Mechanical
– ANSYS Workbench
– LS-DYNA
– FEMFAT
– optiSLang
– Proprietary tools: A-BOLT, ACT extensions, APDL scripts
