Maiwald Engineering
Maiwald Engineering is a Germany-based engineering company specializing in FEM and tribology, offering advanced simulation and analysis services for mechanical systems.
About
Maiwald Engineering is a spinoff from the Technical University of Chemnitz focused on making cutting-edge multi-body CAE simulation research directly usable for industrial customers. The company specializes in the simulation of roller bearing creeping, slip and relative movements in contacting surfaces, friction and wear testing, as well as structural, deformation, and failure analysis. Their methodologies have been experimentally validated and recognized with several scientific awards. Maiwald Engineering combines expertise in CAE/FEM simulation and laboratory testing, supporting customers throughout the design phase to detect potential issues early and optimize product performance.
