About us
Konstruktionsberatung DAAMS GmbH was founded in 1995 by Dipl.-Ing. Jürgen Daams as a technical-scientific engineering office and has specialized in simulation services since then. The scope of services includes FEM calculations (structural and temperature analyses, transient and vibration analyses), DEM simulations of process technology such as grinding, silo filling, and emptying, as well as Multi-Body and Multi-Scale Simulations (MKS) of entire technical systems. Additionally, the company offers component optimization according to CAO and SKO procedures (notch stress and topology optimization), design consulting, takeover of development projects, particle size distribution analytics, and expert reports and expert testimony for authorities and insurance companies. Clients come from mechanical, plant, and vehicle engineering, as well as process technology, including the cement and mining industries. The five employees at the Stolberg site in Aachen have, in some cases, over 30 years of experience with practical FEM applications; software such as ANSYS and Autodesk Inventor Simulation are used.
