Root Cause Analysis: Uncovering the Why Behind Design Failure

When an existing system underperforms or fails, you need an exact diagnosis, not guesswork. I utilize advanced simulation (FEA/CFD) and analytical reconstruction to systematically audit legacy or existing designs, identifying the root cause of failure, pinpointing inefficiencies, and providing actionable solutions for guaranteed optimal performance.

The 6-Phase Investigative Protocol for Design Reconstruction

Solving complex design failures demands a methodical, forensic approach. This protocol utilizes advanced simulation (FEA/CFD) and analytical reconstruction to find the true root cause of underperformance, ensuring the final output is a verified, optimized solution ready for immediate deployment.

Process & Workflow
Cyclical project management workflow diagram detailing the four key phases: Requirement Assessment, Execution, Quality, and Planning for efficient engineering projects.
  • System Audit & Data Collection

    Begins with a forensic review of existing CAD geometry, assembly structure, legacy data, and observed failure modes to define the core problem (S_R2).

  • Analytical Reconstruction Setup

    Building the virtual testing environment, establishing material models, loads, and boundary conditions to precisely replicate the real-world failure condition (S_R2).

  • Root Cause Failure Analysis

    Utilizing FEA/CFD solvers to systematically isolate and identify the exact structural weakness, thermal stress, or flow anomaly responsible for the underperformance (S_R1, S_R15).

  • Post-Processing & Data Forensics

    Translating complex simulation results (e.g., stress plots, flow vectors) into clear data points that confirm the failure mechanism and quantify inefficiency (S_R1).

  • Optimization & Re-Verification

    Implementing precise geometric and structural changes (S_R15) in the CAD model, followed by simulation to guarantee the reconstructed design delivers guaranteed optimal performance.

  • Final Verified Solution Handover

    Delivering the corrected CAD geometry, a formal root-cause audit report, and clear documentation showing the performance gains achieved (S_R2).

Data Certainty: The Measurable Advantages of Predictive Engineering

When failure is no longer an option, you need absolute certainty. This service provides the predictive intelligence required to diagnose complex design failures, guarantee reconstructed performance, and quickly recover costly projects through systematic analytical audit.

Why It Works
  • Pinpoint Root Cause Failure

    We systematically identify the single structural, thermal, or flow anomaly responsible for the failure, eliminating guesswork and providing the definitive answer (S_R1, S_R15).

  • Modernize Legacy Systems

    Expertly audit and optimize existing designs for modern performance and cost standards, extending the reliable lifespan of proprietary or older components (S_R7).

  • Immediate Cost Recovery

    Stop funding repetitive physical testing or repair cycles. Analysis delivers the guaranteed fix virtually, turning design expense into investment recovery.

  • Guaranteed Performance Reconstruction

    Receive a verified, corrected CAD geometry that is proven by simulation to perform reliably, eliminating the risk of repeated failure.

  • Clarity for All Stakeholders

    We translate complex diagnostic data into clear, concise, and actionable audit reports for your technical, management, and procurement teams.

  • Singular Accountability

    You partner directly with the expert conducting the analysis, ensuring consistency, deep project understanding, and zero miscommunication across the troubleshooting process.

FAQs

The process begins with a Forensic System Audit. We gather all existing data, perform analytical reconstruction, and define the failure mode to build a precise virtual testing environment (S_R2).

We use advanced FEA/CFD solvers to systematically simulate the exact conditions that led to failure (S_R1). This pinpoints the single critical stress concentration, material flaw, or flow anomaly responsible.

Yes. I specialize in Legacy System Optimization. I reconstruct the old geometry using modern parametric techniques and validate it with simulation to meet current performance standards (S_R7).

We start by performing CAD geometry preparation and reconstruction. The messy file is simplified, cleaned, and rebuilt into a stable, associative model suitable for accurate analysis (S_R2).

The reconstructed design is verified using the same FEA/CFD solver under all critical load conditions before handover. The optimization loop guarantees the fix addresses the root cause (S_R2).

While it involves deeper investigation, it is infinitely cheaper than repeating physical failures. Analytical Reconstruction quickly recovers development costs by providing a guaranteed fix the first time.

Yes, I specialize in troubleshooting simulation errors related to non-linearity, convergence issues, and complex dynamic states that challenge general solvers (S_R1, S_R2).

Yes. I provide short-term support to the manufacturing team to ensure the new file integrates seamlessly, cementing our partnership and the success of the design reconstruction.
