Race-Tec: Using FEA software to design superior and long lasting CV boots

Race-Tec Sealing supplies a large proportion of constant velocity CV boots into motorsports and for high-performance military vehicles. Sports cars, military and off road vehicles – which are often steered at sharper angles, at high speeds, and in the case of the latter, on uneven ground – are quite demanding on CV boots. The boots must …

Simulating a flexible fluid container using Nastran and MARC led to considerable time and cost savings

An aero parts manufacturer needed to successfully drop test a flexible fluid container from a height of 80 feet in order to certify the part. Inaccuracies in the predictions led to 5 failed drop tests, each of which cost approximately $55k. The continued failure of the expensive physical tests prompted the company to acquire Marc …

Intake & Exhaust Systems: noise challenges and acoustic simulation processes

Intake and exhaust systems contribute significantly to the total noise level of ground vehicles (passenger cars,  motorcycles, heavy machinery) or any other tool equipped with combustion engines such as chain saws, for example. From a general perspective, it is possible to identify three reasons for studying the acoustic performance of these systems: Noise regulations are becoming more and …
