Unparalleled Mechanical Engineering Expertise

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by Former Fortune 100 Leaders

Is your prototype, component or structure designed efficiently
to be reliable, safe and functional?

We are your best choice to provide certainty. Our Finite Element Analysis (FEA) services are your gateway to faster, better, and easier design processes. Leveraging cutting-edge FEA techniques, we ensure your designs are optimized for safety, functionality, and efficiency – eliminating guesswork and costly iterations.

Discover how our expertise has led to Success Stories across the industry.

Tired of Product  / Component Failures and Costly Redesigns?

Are you facing these challenges?

It is possible to confirm your product is safe and functional before it is manufactured and put in service.

We have the computer aided engineering skills to perform the required simulations. This includes expertise in finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Facing a Product failure?

Let us determine the root cause

We help busy designers and engineers ensure their designs will work.

We understand the negative business impact a failed product or component can have. We have been owners who have experienced it first hand with panic calls in the middle of the night.

We have helped clients in every state to ensure integrity for their products, components and structures. We recently validated the design of containment structures for an international industrial coatings company using state of the art software, including recommended modifications to ensure safety and compliance.

We work in multiple industries and helped over 100 companies and we can do the same for you.

Testimonials

5/5

"No other organization!"

"In my role as a Navy ManTech Program Manager at EWI, I've worked with many experts, but Gatekey stands out. Their unique combination of welding engineering knowledge and skills in simulation modeling using finite element methods proved invaluable across multiple projects. In fact, I know of no other organization that has this particular combination of skills and expertise. Their contributions significantly enhanced our research and development capabilities."
