Comprehensive  Response To The Challenges Of Advanced Mechanical Systems Development  Systems Engineering Tailored To Your Mechanical Project Needs Shipboard piperacker developed under MSEI supervision The evolution of mechanical systems toward greater complexity, coupled with the increasing reliance of firms on outsourcing and teaming, has intensified the need for good systems engineering. MSEI provides its clients with experienced consultants who understand the unique demands of mechanical systems. Not just the bookkeeping exercise of requirements management, but the design experience, experimental, and analytical support to ensure specifications contain the essential requirements for the system to function properly, while meeting interfaces. Depending on client needs, MSEI personnel may then follow through with component design and analysis, integration and test planning, or independent verification and validation of performance. MSEI’s licensed PE consultants provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of mechanical systems design and production: CAD, structural and dynamic analysis, mechanism evaluation, operations planning, CFD, and safety evaluation, to name a few. We specialize in projects where an understanding of dynamics is critical, with a special emphasis on the marine environment. Project Management MSEI has been instrumental in helping aerospace, offshore oil & gas, and government clients accomplish their objectives. We bring special expertise in the generation of requirements specifications and during the source selection phases of projects, and have extensive experience in both direct management and oversight of fabrication, integration, and test activities. Independent Evaluation Adaptable shipboard unmanned vehicle launch and recovery concept In high risk applications, it’s often beneficial to get a second opinion to ensure you are heading down the right path. As an engineering services company without ties to manufacturers or systems integrators, MSEI provides unbiased, confidential assessments of others’ work as well as parallel independent investigations. When development risk is high or the consequences of failure in the field may be severe, we provide the extra  assurance to move forward with confidence. Using the latest analytical tools and extensive testing facilities available in our home area of Los Angeles and throughout the country, MSEI can support just about any experimental or analytical risk mitigation need. Research & Development Diffraction of waves around box barge, as evaluated by MSEI software Our people have in common a background in low volume systems development, which makes us ideal for moving into uncharted territory, or coming up with improved solutions to existing problems. MSEI has the creativity, technological capability, and discipline to move ideas from brainstorming through proof of concept and on to prototype development. Our patents and technical publications are testimony. Areas of research have included: nonlinear systems identification; wake and seakeeping computational hydrodynamics; fiber optic connection devices; and ocean wave/low frequency power generation.
