Design Optimization, Numerical Modeling & Custom Code
Chicago Engineering Consulting Built on Real Physics
A wrong assumption in your design costs more than an enterprise software license ever would, and most small teams can’t justify the costs either. Wakiva Engineering delivers physics-based analysis and custom code sized to fit your project, not a vendor’s pricing tier.
Our Engineering Services
Specialized Engineering Solutions for Your Complex Problems
Design Optimization: Analysis or Custom Code
Need a design optimized once, or a tool that can optimize it again and again? We run physics-driven optimization studies to hit your performance target directly, or build you a custom code your team can run in-house on future projects.
Numerical Modeling: Analysis or Custom Code
Mesh Generation & Manipulation
Good analysis starts with a good mesh. We build custom tools that generate structured and unstructured mesh representations of your geometry, or manipulate a mesh you already have, so your downstream analysis runs on data you can trust.
Engineering Consultation
Whether you’re evaluating a new concept, troubleshooting a complex engineering challenge, or deciding which technical approach makes the most sense, we provide practical engineering guidance backed by years of research and real-world experience. Together, we’ll define the best path forward for your project.

How a Project With Wakiva Engineering Works
What Happens Once You Reach Out
We Start With Your Actual Constraints
On our first call, we ask about your goals, timeline, and whatever data or models you already have. There’s no generic intake form; the scope is built around your project, not a template.
You Get a Scoped, Itemized Estimate
We’ll provide you with an itemized estimate for each task of your project and the expected costs for the performance period. You’ll always see the expected timeline and associated costs before any work begins.
Analysis or Code, Whichever Actually Solves It
We’ll never sell you a custom tool if a single analysis solves your problem or a report if your team needs something reusable. Learn more about how we approach every project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Scoping and Process Questions Answered
What do I need to provide before a project starts?
Generally, a description of your goals, any existing geometry or data you have, and your timeline. If you’re not sure what’s relevant, we’ll walk you through it during our first conversation.
How is my quote determined?
We estimate total hours based on the complexity of the analysis, modeling, or code involved. You’ll always see the cost broken down in an itemized estimate before agreeing to anything.
Can a project start as an analysis and expand into custom code later?
Yes, and this is a common path. Many clients start with a single analysis, then decide a custom tool makes sense once they see how often they’ll need to repeat it.
Do you provide documentation with custom code deliverables?
Yes. Every custom code comes with documentation covering how it works and the assumptions built into it, so your team isn’t left guessing once the project wraps up.
What if I only need a second opinion on an existing analysis?
That’s a valid project on its own. We can review an existing model, optimization study, or mesh and tell you honestly whether it holds up.
Can you work within my organization's existing simulation software instead of building something new?
In many cases, yes. If your team already has a workflow in place, we’ll work within it where possible rather than introducing something new for its own sake.
