3D simulation: Efficient engineering-workflows

The challenge

The creation, management, and value-added utilization of simulation and test data are core tasks in digital engineering that are still associated with fundamental challenges:

  • Forecast accuracy and knowledge of the error ranges of simulations are often not sufficient.
  • Assumptions about material data and boundary conditions often turn out to be wrong in experiments.
  • Poor data management causes enormous inefficiencies in the reuse of data or even prevents it entirely.
  • Innovative technologies can hardly be used to add value for cross-process engineering.

The solution

As an industrial innovation incubator and software developer, we ensure, in continuous collaboration with user companies, that vendor-independent innovations in CAE and CAD solutions are deployed more quickly:

  • Joint analysis of existing engineering workflows and automation potential
  • Expert advice on simulation solutions and modern approaches to FE modeling through to the optimization of FE simulations
  • Use of the modular, industry-proven simulation toolbox simano to eliminate deficits in process chains
  • Implementation of the solutions in existing brownfield applications
  • Integration experience with Simcenter, ANSA, Hypermesh and CATIA

Modular toolbox for individual simulation solutions

Parameter Mapping

  • Linking of different simulation tools based on the data models (e.g. LS-Dyna, Abaqus, PAM Stamp, NASTRAN)
  • Transfer of state variables from one grid to. another (triangles vs. quadrilaterals)
  • Consideration of different grid densities
  • Refinement/coarsening of grids

Geometric Mapping

  • Automated positioning and scaling (3D scan, FE and CAD models)
  • Adaptation of existing FE models (morphing) to real measurement data (SD scan)
  • Reverse engineering of CAD data based on measurement data (3D scan)
  • Problem-free working with inaccuracies or scan errors

Analysis systems

  • Distance evaluation (actual-target comparison) of the components
  • Gap and flush analyses
  • Undercut analyses
  • Execution of component offsets

Automation

  • Workflow automation 
  • Automated correction of delays 
  • Setup of complex workflows with different IT architectures 
  • Methods for easy customer-oriented process integration through customizing 
  • Integration in ANSA, Hypermesh, CATIA
