Our Philosophy

The Company

Lau Engineering Solutions GmbH (LES) has gathered a lot of experience in stress/strain analysis of the components of apparatus and construction engineering. Therefore the company decided to support small and middle-sized firms in design development and production process, but also in marketing of pressure and thermal components.

Since we cooperate with other engineering offices and try to make the analysis of the components in construction engineering more practical, we hope, we may offer you our professional know-how at good market prices.

LES offers analytical dimensioning calculations according to the German and international rules and also numerical stress/strain analysis on the basis of Finite Element Method. Besides we advise our clients in such questions as optimisation of a product at the planning stage and analysis of damages.

In this respect, we see our object in constant support of a project we are working at, from product development till its production. That is what our regular customers would appreciate and reward.

In addition LES does literature research and offers for their customers. Together with associate companies, LES offers extra services connected with analysis of possible damage cases and further improvement of the product, such as experimental and material regarding investigations, expertise and so on.

Aside from technically oriented services, we offer advice and training in such areas as internet based applications, office organization, literature research, data base design, development and marketing of an appropriate hard-/software.

The Concept

We think, we can offer highly qualitative services at good market prices because:

  • LES GmbH performs structural mechanical analysis and advises many clients in the whole country and this facilitates the following:
    • we sufficiently provide our stuff with the work
    • we employ enough qualified, but not overqualified specialists to deal with separate tasks

      For example, often technicians or technical designers perform a complete design development. However the analysis of results of the required plausibility check which follows afterwards is done by engineers.

  • LES concentrates on the requirements of apparatus and construction engineering and
  • LES cooperates with other engineering offices and software companies, which work in the same field, and this allows us to offer professional knowledge with relatively low demand on highly qualified specialists.

Using these partnership principles, together we can settle your structural mechanical problems:

  • You have: basic idea, concept, special know-how,
  • We have:
    • experience
    • hardware
    • software.

Initial situation

Nowadays main resources of European apparatus and construction engineers are their innovative way of thinking, professional know-how and the creativity of their teams. Constantly changing situation and demands of the market, but also and in particular an increase in costs, force small and middle-sized companies to be more flexible under a limit of stuff members.

Considering this aspect, many firms again and again reconsider application of structural mechanical analysis.

  • Mostly it is not worth investing funds in required software and highly qualified staff to use these calculations occasionally.
  • In the “stand-alone” firms there is a lack of specialists who are competent in branch-specific topics. Help from competing firms is undesirable.
  • Due to the personnel costs it is often unreasonable to hold up a highly qualified specialist to train the beginners.
  • In this respect, professional know-how dies slowly away, because “old hands” leave the firm.

In this situation LES wants to offer technically and economically interesting alternative.

  • We calculate stress/stain in your component with the help of:
    • modern hardware
    • international software.

    • technically simple or complex structures,
    • structures under mechanical or thermal loadings,
    • structures under stationary or transient loadings
  • we help you with calculation, analysis
  • and evaluation!

Colourful pictures are not everything that you receive from us!

Within our documentation you get an evaluation of the results according to the national and international rules. We also support you in the processes which come afterwards:

  • gladly we assist you in optimisation of your components
  • we hope that through our experience, we have gathered in many projects, we will be able to enrich the know-how of your firm.

Often our customers ignore the following:

When you start developing a concept of a product, especially at the project planning stage when you have to assess about 90 percent of the future costs, it is worth making calculation. If you want, for example, to make a conceptual design or to optimize a component or you need to know such factors as strength evaluation or variant behaviour, calculation made by Finite Element Method can give you necessary information and safety for your project.

Especially for apparatus engineers, calculations which may help to reduce the weight, however to maintain sufficient strength are of a great use.

For thermal components, analysis of strength under thermal and mechanical loadings combined together may be a necessary requirement to start working on project.

Trust your calculation questions to our FEM-stuff.

Our professional know-how and client-specific service will guarantee you quick and secure results at good market prices.
