Ingeliance is an industrial engineering and technology consulting group founded in 1998 and headquartered in Mérignac, France. The group partners with leading European industrial manufacturers across the entire product lifecycle, from upfront research and mechanical design to manufacturing industrialization, commissioning, and operational maintenance.
Operating across 19 technical sites in France and internationally with a workforce of over 700 engineers and technicians, Ingeliance organizes its engineering operations around three core divisions: product and system development, industrial solutions (tooling and special machines), and advanced scientific simulation.
Ingeliance provides end-to-end mechanical engineering services covering structural sizing, kinematics, mechanisms, and manufacturing engineering:
- Mechanical Design & Architecture: 3D CAD modeling, 2D manufacturing drawings, functional tolerancing (ISO GPS), stack-up calculations, complex mechanical integration, and definition dossiers for naval, aerospace, and machinery equipment.
- Structural Analysis & Simulation (FEA): Static linear and non-linear calculations, fatigue analysis, modal and dynamic response, buckling, and structural sizing using software such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, SIMCENTER, and SAMCEF.
- Advanced CFD & Thermal Sizing: Computational fluid dynamics, external and internal aerodynamics, thermodynamic studies, and multiphysics modeling.
- Special Machinery & Tooling: Turnkey development of custom assembly jigs, lifting tools, inspection fixtures, and automated production machinery integrating mechanical, electrical, and automation systems.
- Mechanical Testing & Integration: Sub-assembly integration, test bench design, mechanical adjustments, physical test execution, and test-to-simulation correlation.
- Technical Documentation & Support: Maintenance engineering, technical writing, user guides, and manufacturing support.
