1.      Problem definition

What is the best simulation for a particular field situation?

It is also the most difficult question to answer; there are no rules established to determine the answer.


A lot of attention must go to this stage.


We start by interviewing and examination.

 

Typical questions:
    Why do you need tribological information: for development, quality control, failure issue, marketing support…
       What specific information is needed: wear rate, friction force, temperature increase, surface degradation
, fluid  
    degradation,…?
       How will it be possible to confirm correlation: references or field experience available?

This stage requires a very direct communication. We visit on-site to discuss the project or we invite you to our lab for discussion on test equipment.
