REF: AEMRI-183-MCP Annual Maintenance for CIVA Simulation Packages

Tender description

TWI is one of the world’s foremost independent research and technology organisations, with expertise in solving problems in all aspects of manufacturing, fabrication and whole-life integrity management technologies. Established in Cambridge, UK in 1946 and with facilities across the globe, the company has a first class reputation for service through its teams of internationally respected consultants, scientists, engineers and support staff, whose knowledge and expertise is available to its Industrial Members as and when they require. AEMRI seeks to create a unique facility housing a critical mass of equipment, expertise and resources. AEMRI provides an environment to test and prove the limits of performance of advanced materials. Through the use of advanced modelling and simulation methods, full, large-scale mechanical test structures will be designed and built upon finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. Advanced, automated non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques will be developed with the aim of saving the industry time and production costs as well as minimising the risk of catastrophic structural failures. AEMRI will deliver the objectives of the project through the following four technical strands:- - Modelling and Simulation of High Performance Materials and Structures. - Advanced Robotic Inspection of Complex Geometry Structures. - Inspection Systems for Very Large Structures for the Green Energy Sector. - Nuclear Fabrication Research Centre. TWI use CIVA software for non-destructive testing (NDT) simulation, which will enable design and manufacture of bespoke ultrasonic arrays and eddy current for use in the civil nuclear, aerospace, and military sectors. There is now a requirement to renew all the maintenance licences to cover upgrades and support service for the CIVA software (UT and ET modules) licences and the CIVA Analysis licences. Please ensure requests to participate and any communication relating to this tender is made via the in-Tend correspondence facility.
