K2 Engineering has extensive experience in developing software applications to design a wide variety of equipment and structures, employing numerical modeling and simulation methods, classical "cookbook" methods, and experience-based "rule of thumb" methods.

Some examples of projects undertaken by K2 Engineering's engineers include: static and dynamic analysis and design of rotating equipment of various sorts; design of steel chimneys; analysis of un-steady heat transfer though process equipment; configuration and optimization of light gauge steel components in roof trusses; design of tubular structures; integration of engineering software with Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) systems; development of web-based engineering applications for both technical support and marketing purposes; developed a suite of tools to streamline and automate the pre- and post-processing of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models; ported a number of 1970s and 1980s vintage FORTRAN-based design programs written for mini-computers to Visual Basic-based programs on a PC platform; and development of tools to create drawings of parametrically similar structural components.

K2's engineers develop new software, and can support and enhance existing software, in a variety of languages on a variety of platforms, including:

Languages

        Visual Basic, versions 4, 5, 6, and VBA (Visual Basic for Applications)

        Visual Basic .Net

        FORTRAN, including MS-FORTRAN, Lahey FORTRAN, Microsoft PowerStation, and Visual FORTRAN

        VBScript and JavaScript

        Active Server Pages (ASP & ASP.Net)

Platforms

        PC (Windows & DOS)

        Digital Equipment PDP, VAX, and MicroVAX mini-computers and workstations

        Hewlett-Packard mini-computers and workstations

Similar custom systems, software, and/or process recommendations from K2 Engineering might resolve one of your engineering, manufacturing, or operational problems.  We´ll be happy to meet with you to discuss your needs.  We're also accustomed to working with your in-house personnel, or other third parties, on projects of this nature and will be glad to discuss that with you as well.

The initial consultation is completely FREE - you are under no further obligation whatsoever.  If we can help you, you'll know immediately.  Just as importantly, if we are not the right people for the job, you'll be told that immediately as well - and we may be able to put you in touch with the right person in our wide circle of professional contacts who can help you.
