The Female Researcher Committee of the International Association of Computational Mechanics (IACM-FRC) organized a Women’s Networking Event at the World Congress of Computational Mechanics in New York City. The mission of FRC is to promote gender balance in the computational mechanics community and provide a supportive network for female researchers. Panels and discussion topics included mechanics …
NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) or N&V (Noise and Vibration), is a problem that is often directly tied to the overall quality of a product. Therefore, it is one of the most sought after targets for performance by product development teams to help differentiate themselves from competition. With the emergence of hybrid and electric vehicles, …
See how Evotech CAE Ltd used MSC Apex in developing a radical mountain bike design. The work for Empire Cycles, was focused on pre-manufacture analysis of strength, stiffness and durability. Edgecam was also in partnership with Empire Cycles, machining the headstock for the MX6 Evo mountain bike. The next generation tools within MSC Apex allowed for highly-effective FEA …
See how students at The University of Texas, Austin used MSC Solutions in the building of an electric vehicle for the Formula SAE Electric competition. During the 2017-2018 season, Longhorn Racing laid the foundation upon which we aim to build a champion electric team. Starting with a small group of 12 members, we put a …
When dealing with multibody systems, it is common to use rigid body dynamics. However, introducing flexibility in the system can help better capture the system frequencies and thus make precise predictions possible. The Adams ViewFlex toolkit offers a quick method to generate flexibility bodies (or MNF files) in the system, especially for parts with simpler …
Autonomous vehicles need to have a comprehensive understanding of their environment to drive safely and reliably. As automotive and truck OEMs and their suppliers rush to deliver highly automated vehicles, it has become clear that physical testing can never be enough to deal with all the dangerous conditions that may arise. Thus, a massive amount …
