Highly regarded as powerful tools, finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technologies have gained unprecedented, profound acclaim in mitigating multiple engineering and industrial concerns. Consequently, the number of service providers has also increased, with only a few catalyzing change in improving product design, optimizing operational efficiency, and reducing the incidence of expensive design errors, particularly in high-stake environments. Factreehub, a 2-year-old technology-intensive company, stands at the forefront of such promising partners with its innovative strategies, deep-rooted dedication, a digital platform, and a comprehensive array of engineering services, primarily catering to the process plant domain.
Established in 2022, Factreehub is a proud venture of a visionary duo, Arun Mugilan and Karthick Anand, who share technical experience and strategic competence. While their initial focus was to build a manufacturing aggregation platform, the founders pivoted the company’s operations to create a one-stop digital platform, which can streamline design and unify information exchanges, engineering workflow management and collaboration, thereby breaking traditional systems and silos. The company has presently grown into an on-demand engineering service enabler specialized in offering tools, resources, software, and solutions for diverse verticals, including design engineering, quality testing, and supply chain in electrical, civil, mechanical, piping & metallurgical engineering segments.
Catalyzing Design Efficiency
“Any product or design develops on certain hypotheses. However, there is always a gap between a hypothesis and the actual conditions. Hence, existing data from the use-cases also play a critical role in the design improvement and optimization”, opines Arun. He also believes that the design, coupled with 3D models and material data, can lay a strong foundation for an effective FEA. Factreehub employs ANSYS software to offer advanced FEA services to evaluate stress, deformation, fatigue, and other factors. The company obtains material properties using the S-N curve and models them for accuracy with software tools like Solidworks, ProE, and CADworks. Using stress-based methodologies to predict the failure of components based on their life-cycle, the company also utilizes topology optimization tools to remove elements from low-stress areas. “In transient conditions, we turn towards CFD analysis to attain more insights”, adds Arun.
The impact of Factreehub’s FEA prowess on the design optimization, performance, cost, and safety is clearly evidenced in the success stories of its customers. For example, in a case related to stress corrosion cracking in a pipeline, Factreehub used FEA analysis to provide a solution with an alternative weld joint overlay instead of the alternative metallurgy option, which not only reduced stress-induced cracking but also equipped the respective customer to avoid a higher capital cost. The company has also worked with OEM clients in earth-moving equipment sectors, conducting crash simulations to test the impact on engines, gearboxes, and other core components, which, in turn, helps the team provide valuable design-related feedback, contributing to safety and performance.

In order to stay ahead of the curve, Factreehub constantly invests in staying ahead of the curve and incorporating the latest trends and technologies in its endeavors. The venture participates in various technical conferences and has established close alliances with its global customers, who empower the company to stay current. The technology partnerships with various software and design service providers also add an advantage in gaining mutual benefits in innovation and growth. Recognizing the potential of digital engineering management in evolving the technologies, tools, and applications, the company is in the process of exploring AI and ML tools to reduce human errors. Seeking to address both capability and capacity challenges globally through technology, the venture is confident that its well-connected platform becomes the core competency for its core team, its associates, and remote experts to better serve the customers.
