Ideas for the Future – Research and Development at Wölfel
Since our founding in 1971, the connection between practical application and innovative research has been our top priority. Professor Horst Peter Wölfel's university activities and his leadership role in the Department of Machine Dynamics at TU Darmstadt still influence our orientation today.
In the early years, the company's goal was to introduce the emerging computer simulation technology — specifically the Finite Element Method — to the German industry. In the 1980s, we expanded simulation by integrating experimental modal analysis, merging calculation and measurement. The 1990s saw probabilistic risk studies shaping our work. Today, our focus is primarily on industry-oriented applied research in the field of our core competence: dynamics.
No matter the decade, we strive to stay at the forefront of new technological developments.
