Global Engineering Research and Technologies was established in 2007 by a team of engineers, researchers, and software developers with one shared aim: to put research-grade computational mechanics into the hands of practising engineers. Since then we have delivered consulting and specialised software to the aerospace, electronics, and defense industries.

Engineering problems that matter rarely fail in ways that classical continuum mechanics predicts well. Cracks nucleate, branch, and coalesce; composite plies delaminate; joints yield around a fastener. GERT was founded to close that gap — to build tools that model damage and discontinuity directly, rather than working around them.
Our team excels at software designed for prediction of material characteristics, failure modes analysis, and sophisticated data manipulation. The foundation is robust computational methodology: Finite Element Analysis for established structural behaviour, and Peridynamics for the cracks and discontinuities that break the continuum assumption. Machine learning sits on top, turning expensive solves into insight that fits inside a design loop.
Today that work reaches engineers as six software tools and a consulting practice spanning mechanical and thermal structural analysis, fatigue life prediction, progressive damage in composites, and multiphysics process modeling.
Three capabilities underpin every tool we ship — each one validated against the physics before it reaches a customer’s design loop.
Advanced computational models forecast how a material responds under load, temperature, and time. Homogenisation of a representative volume element gives effective thermoelastic properties for a micro-structure long before a coupon is cut.
Identifying potential failure points in structural and electronic materials is where peridynamics earns its place. Cracks are allowed to initiate, turn, branch, and arrest on their own — no pre-defined crack path, no remeshing, no criterion bolted on after the fact.
Machine learning algorithms process and analyse the complex datasets simulation and experiment produce, providing actionable insight rather than another contour plot. Digital image correlation closes the loop, measuring full-field displacement and strain from photographs of the real article.
The foundation of our software lies in robust computational methodology. We do not ask engineers to pick a side — each method is used where its assumptions actually hold.
A well-established method for simulating physical phenomena, enabling precise modelling of structural behaviour. Fast, mature, and unmatched for the vast majority of a structure where the continuum assumption holds perfectly well.
An emerging and powerful theory that addresses limitations in traditional continuum mechanics, particularly useful for modelling cracks and discontinuities. Its integral formulation stays valid exactly where the classical partial differential equations break down — at a crack tip.
To get the benefit of both, GERT pioneered a coupling approach that embeds a peridynamic region exactly where damage is expected and leaves finite elements to carry the rest of the structure — inside the platforms engineers already use, Ansys and Abaqus.
Peridynamics resolves the crack; FEA carries the far field. Neither method is stretched past its assumptions.
The expensive non-local formulation is confined to the subdomain that needs it, not the whole model.
Delivered as integrations for Ansys and Abaqus, so the method reaches an existing workflow instead of replacing it.
We specialise in simulation consulting, using both FEA and Peridynamics to deliver analysis services that blend deep theoretical knowledge with extensive practical experience.
By utilizing our expertise in both mechanical and thermal structural analysis, we offer essential guidance that enhances the design of safer, more efficient, and cost-effective structures across diverse industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
We utilize advanced modeling tools to deliver precise predictions of structural behavior. Additionally, we develop tailored solution methods to ensure that our recommendations precisely align with the specific requirements and challenges of each project.
Our fatigue life prediction consulting service focuses on assessing the longevity of materials and structures subjected to cyclic loading, an essential factor in industries where safety and structural integrity are crucial, such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
We utilize advanced analytical techniques and robust fatigue models to accurately determine potential points and times of fatigue failure within components. By leveraging state-of-the-art simulation software, we model real-world conditions to predict how they impact fatigue life, aiding in the early identification of likely failure points.
Our consulting service specializes in progressive damage analysis of composite materials, providing essential insights for sectors utilizing advanced materials like aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy. Known for their robust yet lightweight characteristics, composites may undergo complex damage behaviors such as matrix cracking, delamination, and fiber breakage under operational stresses.
We employ advanced computational models to meticulously simulate and analyze the damage progression within composite structures. These models enable us to accurately forecast the initiation and development of damage across various loading scenarios, enhancing the reliability and performance of composite applications.
Our consulting service in multiphysics process modeling delivers tailored solutions for industries involved in complex operations where multiple physical processes interact, such as in corrosion and electroplating.
These services are designed to address the unique challenges of industries that require a deep understanding of how different physical phenomena interrelate within their operational frameworks.
