Design, Simulation & Testing Capabilities

Senior Flexonics is committed to using the latest technologies and tools in the development of its products.  World class modeling and analysis are crucial in today’s fast paced environment, and are a cornerstone of the development process at Senior.

Senior Flexonics’ Engineering staff rigorously adhere to a virtual validation methodology, which arms all levels of the engineering staff with CFD and FEA programs to both iterate and validate their products.  This commitment allows both for significant risk reduction as well as faster product cycles.
