Hawk Ridge Systems offers a range of 3D design analysis software to help you make smart decisions with your 3D design. Along with our analysis software, we also offer different types of Analysis Consulting Services which include Consulting, Mentoring, and Training. So how do you choose between Consulting or Mentoring?
When choosing between Consulting and Mentoring, it really comes down to 2 major things: Do you want to receive a technical report with the results for your analysis – or – do you want to learn how to setup the analysis and obtain results yourself. Take a look at the summary below and decide which services offering is right for you and best fits your design process.
During a typical Consulting project:
• We review the details and goals of your analysis in conjunction with you, the customer.
• We create and confirm a statement of work to describe the scope of the analysis work to be completed.
• The analysis work begins.
• At the end, the customer receives a technical report which includes:
- Setup Outline and Key Assumptions
- 5 Result Cut Plot/Surface Plot Views
- 2 Tracked Parameters (Surface Goals or Displacement at Vertex for Example)
- 1 Special Output (eDrawing or Animation for Example) per Analysis
• This option is usually a good fit when customers need an answer sooner rather than later, lack analysis resources, or don’t have the software.
During a typical Mentoring project:
• We review the details and goals of your analysis in conjunction with you, the customer.
• We create and confirm a statement of work to describe the scope of the analysis work to be completed.
• The analysis work begins.
• In the end, the customer receives a 3-hour mentoring session, PDF of the Mentoring Presentation, and Analysis Files.
• Mentoring session(s) includes:
- Analysis of Planning
- Setup
- Results Output
- Accuracy Assessment
- Tips and Tricks
• This option is great for those that have the software and want more application-specific training compared to our standard training classes.
As you can see, the main difference between the two approaches is the nature of the deliverable at the end of the analysis – a report of the outcomes during a Consulting project, and a comprehensive training session for Mentoring projects. In both cases, we apply best practices for analysis strategy and complete a high-quality analysis.
Whether you are interested in obtaining a report of the results or want to learn all the aspects of the analysis process yourself, the Hawk Ridge Systems Analysis Services team has a solution for you. Check our Analysis Services Datasheet to determine which option best fits your needs.
