Engineering Consultancy
Specialising in high quality, predictive analysis in product development.
Vectayn Ltd is an engineering consultancy specialising in high quality, predictive analysis, helping companies save money in new product development.
Our experienced and highly motivated workforce use the best available hardware and advanced application software to provide a full range of Computer Aided Engineering capabilities across a wide range of materials - polymers, steels, alloys, composites, fluids and more. The service is backed by full engineering and project management support, helping clients interpret results to achieve optimum product capabilities.
Vectayn is proud to be partnered with Enlighten™. An FEA tool based on topometry for lightweighting, designed to tackle complex non-linear dynamic challenges like automotive crashworthiness.
Topometry has established itself as a robust tool in both linear and non-linear statics. The contribution of Enlighten™ has been to adapt these methods to the non-linear dynamic realm through the creation of a bespoke optimisation solver. Topometry, which involves adjusting shell thicknesses, is particularly well-suited for designing thin-walled structures like body-in-white (BIW).

Automotive Body Structures
Vectayn offer a comprehensive analysis service for vehicle structures including crash, NVH and durability. Multi Disciplinary optimisation at the concept level to determine core structure and load paths through to detailed understanding of the complex interaction between parts for fully developed systems.
Automotive - Chassis
Vectayn has extensive experience in developing unique suspension systems. Loads transfer through the use of dynamic multibody models is used to isolate components and understand complex loading environments. Stress and fatigue analysis sits alongside NVH assessments to provide a comprehensive and holistic analysis solution supporting chassis design.
Automotive - Exteriors
A complete understanding of the requirements for exterior assemblies, particularly bumper systems including active sensing. Exterior airflow, including aerodynamics, a key requirement for Electric Vehicles where range is a critical consumer concern.
Automotive - Interiors
Vectayn was founded in 1991 partly to service the need to better understand plastics. Ever since we have developed an industry leading approach using analysis to support the development of interior trims and are recognised and industry leaders in the subject.
General Design Support
Vectayn utilises the expertise it has gathered on various automotive and aerospace programmes to extend our analysis support to other areas, such as plastic pallets, fluid filled containers and the Connectum Floating Solar Array.
Material Development
The quality of analysis output relies heavily on the quality of the material data used in the finite element models. Through our exposure to the automotive to aerospace industries, Vectayn has developed a thorough understanding of how materials behave, both isotropic and orthotropic, homogeneous and composite. Vectayn characterise materials for use in analysis and understand how to apply these in development.
Security Barriers
Vectayn holds the impactor models created with the UK Government for the development of security barriers to regs PAS68:2013, IWA14-1:2013 and ASTM F2656-18.
