About CFEngineering
CFEngineering GmbH is an engineering services provider based in Weingarten (Baden-Württemberg), founded in 2007. The company supports product development from idea generation and conception through CAD design (including CATIA, CREO, ProEngineer) to strength analysis, optimization, preparation of design documentation, prototype manufacturing and test support. A key focus is the development of aircraft landing gear systems, including hydraulic system design, shock absorber design and load and fatigue life calculations; together with partners, CFE also acts as a supplier of prototypes and series parts. In the field of simulation, static, dynamic and thermal FEM analyses, crash calculations, forming simulations, CFD flow simulations, multibody simulations as well as topological structure optimization and lightweight design are offered. Customers come from aerospace, mobility, mechanical engineering and defense, including Liebherr Aerospace Lindenberg and SAFRAN Landing Systems, for which CFE acts as a Tier One supplier.
