Simulation

High development speed due to rapid insights

Resource-intensive trials and product testing can often only determine the consequences of a problem: Deformation, overheating, condensation…

Realistic simulation can provide valuable input both in the complex identification of possible faults and in proposing solutions to correct them. Since simulation means that fewer, if any, prototypes need to be built, development costs are reduced.

With simulations, you have the entire system in view. A load analysis on an assembly usually examines only one local point. Once a simulation has been carried out, the adjacent components are also analyzed and you automatically get a broader horizon.

We have a wide variety of simulation programs in-house, also for special applications. For example CFD-Star CCM+, Ansys, LS-Dyna and OptiSLang

The following list gives you an overview of what we can do for you in the area of simulation:

Static simulation, implicit structural mechanics
- - Linear and non-linear calculations, strength analysis
  - Plastic material behavior
  - Fiber-reinforced plastics with anisotropic material behavior
  - Mechanical and thermal loads
  - Collision and contact issues
  - Creep and settling behavior
  - Rotating systems, angular velocities and angular accelerations
  - Design point studies, parameter optimizations
  - Modal analyses
Dynamic simulation, explicit structural mechanics
- - Highly nonlinear systems
  - Accelerations and braking (drop test, impact/crash)
  - Forming processes, anisotropic material behavior
Flow simulation, computational fluid dynamics CFD
- - Cooling analyses (oil, water, air)
  - Vesicle formation analysis
  - Design optimization for heat transfer
  - Thermal management for electronics, motors, batteries…
  - Multiphase analysis
System simulation
- - Design of complete systems in the simulation program
  - Electromechanical systems
  - Fluidics with conveying
  - Thermal management
Tolerance analysis
- - Two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis of assemblies taking into account shape and position tolerances

  - Stressed systems
Troubleshooting products in the market
- - Merging of development and production data for a statistical analysis of the system
  - Parameter studies for the analysis of important influencing factors
Virtual verification
- - Verification is now also recognized via simulations, thus saving costs for prototype or pilot series build, test and analysis
