Motovated Design & Analysis | Mechanical Engineering Experts

Client Testimonials

Richard Wong, CAE Steering Group, Fisher & Paykel Appliances Ltd
In January 2014, Motovated Design & Analysis provided training at Fisher & Paykel Appliances to a small group of engineering leaders from the Product Development team. Greg Morehouse tailored a “Simulation Verification Training” session to meet their needs, and provided some excellent guidelines for the verification and validation of FEA work carried out by our engineers. The team was very pleased with the course – it was particularly powerful to get advice on the real-world application of FEA as opposed to merely software training.

Russell Cockburn, CEO - Vestner NZ Limited
I wanted to mention the appreciation and respect that Vestner NZ limited has for the team at Motovated Design & Analysis Ltd. The reasons for originally working with Motovated have only been strengthened by the work that has been conducted for us over the past year. I continue to be impressed by the ability and professionalism of your team. We have already worked with many of your team, each of which brings a carefully crafted set of skills together to deliver a powerfully intellectual and pragmatic based set of design solutions for our business. Down to earth, prepared to challenge our thinking, and patient to our ability to consider change and new ideas equals professional design excellence. Thanks!

Hedda Landreth National Architectural Manager – T&R Interior Systems
T&R have recently started using Motovated for non-structural seismic designs. We have had great communication from them and the projects are turned around quickly and efficiently. I would have no hesitation in recommending Motovated to anyone.

Peter Poulsen, R X Plastics
Thanks very much for your help. I believe that the benefit of working with Motovated Design was that you had confidence working with a team that understood what you were wanting to achieve and was able to use their expertise using the Finite Element Analysis to prove that the design would work, thus taking out any errors on designs before commissioning any work. We believe that using FEA to prove the design shows that you have taken all due care with the design before you release a product to the market, and with this in mind I would have no hesitation in recommending the Motovated Design team. I have seen solid modelling in action along with the cosmos package, and appreciate how much it can help take the guess work out of the final designs before getting the FEA done.

Hamish Castle - Hardware Engineering Manager - Trimble Inc
Trimble reached out to Motovated to help resource an in depth mechanical test plan we estimated was going to take us 3 – 4 months to complete. With relatively short notice Motovated found a candidate quickly with skills that were a great fit for the job. In no time we had our test plan up and running with results coming in. Without this help, our project would have slipped well behind schedule. Motovated was also flexible enough to extend our contract by a couple months when asked. We had several more tasks to complete beyond the initial scope, and having the same person that was already established continue working with our team was extremely valuable for our project. I’d highly recommend Motovated. Their promptness and expertise greatly helped our team meet our project needs.

Mark Harrington, General Manager, Nimrod Engineering Limited
I was very pleased with the work that Motovated carried out for us on our 6-8 Tonne Rotoloc tilting hitch. They listened to the brief, carefully addressing what the issues were for us, not just from an engineering point of view but also from the marketing and market perception point of view. The number of concepts that they came up with was great, allowing us to choose the one that best suited the brief. They understood what the issues were for a small company like ourselves. I hope that we will be engaging them again in the future.

G. Dubar, Gyro Enterprises Ltd
Motovated’s drawings of my GyroBoard have made working with all of our suppliers much easier. Working from sketches was difficult, and the end result was never quite what I had in mind. Now our moulders and pattern makers know immediately what we want, and I get what I was after. The patent attorneys were also very impressed, and said that Motovated’s drawings were the clearest drawings they’ve worked with. The investment in using Motovated for our drawings has been a good one. Their value in time savings, rework avoidance, and recall insurance has exceeded our investment many times. I recommend their services highly!
