About Ingenieurbüro Fiedler
Ingenieurbüro Fiedler GmbH is an Austrian engineering office for mechanical engineering with a focus on technical calculation and simulation. Core competencies include static strength, fatigue strength and service life (in particular for fatigue-loaded welded steel structures as well as cast and forged parts), operational vibrations based on the finite element method (FEM) and multi-body simulation (MBS), and thermomechanics. In addition, the company offers design and planning including conversion of machinery, production plants and vehicles, the development of technical software, work equipment inspections under the Austrian Work Equipment Ordinance, EC conformity assessments under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG, support of technical authority proceedings, and damage analyses with private and court expert opinions. Calculation capacity amounts to approximately 12,000 engineering hours per year. Customers come from industries such as mechanical engineering, mining machinery, raw material processing, industrial furnace construction, drive technology, test rigs, vehicles/rail vehicles and structural steelwork.
