FEops is a spin-off from the IBiTech-bioMMeda group at Ghent University.

What we do?
FEops provides engineering consultancy services in the field of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with a strong focus on medical devices. Using realistic computer simulations, we help our customers to develop better performing products and processes. In addition, FEops uses its simulation expertise to perform and support basic research in the field of minimally invasive surgery with the final aim of improving patient treatment.

Why using simulations?
Virtual prototyping and design optimization can lead to a reduced time-to-market of new products as this approach avoids the need to manufacture every design iteration. Simulations also allow a detailed 3D analysis of (new) products and virtual prototypes and may therefore improve your understanding of their behavior.
