AMOG Consulting

AMOG uses a simulation-driven design process to accelerate engineering and design development time and to meet industry demands for a more robust and optimized product.

State-of the-art analytical software from ANSYS, Inc. offers the ability to interchange simulation and test data between different highly specialized engineering disciplines.

3-D parameterized CAD models are used for pre-processing and are exchanged with different ANSYS simulation software packages. This process allows specialists in their respective engineering disciplines to streamline the simulation process, exchange data and communicate design changes through the same 3-D model.

AMOG Consulting offers a broad range of specialist services to marine construction companies, government organizations, engineering and environmental consultants, and the offshore oil and gas, mining, and process and defense sectors in high-technology niche areas.
