At the core of our experience (24 years), mechanical engineering simulation can be carried out on any number of designs, from a simple bracket up to a complete machine like a tractor or a rolling stock wagon. 

Some examples of Ansys capability:

Linear Statics, non linear statics, transient thermal analysis, buckling, non linear material, non linear contact, non linear geometry.

See below for a full list of capabilities and some examples from our Youtube channel.

This shows a few excamples including a simple roll over protection system, which might be found on a small excavator or similar plant. 

There are numerous examples of what can be achieved with rigid body analysis
