Neumayer Tekfor develops and produces components and assemblies for the automotive industry. Their product line is divided into transmission, engine, driveline, fastener and chassis. The products developed and produced are manufactured with different kind of methods, mainly warm/cold forming and ring/wedge rolling. To reach all the requirements needed, Neumayer utilized Simufact.forming to perform preliminary analysis, …
Crankshafts for large diesel engines that are used in container ships are usually forged in middle and small series. Because every crankshaft has specific features, their manufacturing and design is a challenge. This is where the forming simulation comes into play. Wildauer Schmiedewerke GmbH is one of the few companies that is able to manufacture …
Aircraft loads are the forces and moments applied to the airplane structural components to establish the required strength level of the complete airplane. These loadings may be caused by air pressure, inertia forces or ground reactions during take offs and landings. Determining design loads involves a full aircraft analysis of the air pressure and inertia …
In the past, Sikorsky had to perform expensive bird strike test programs to certify helicopter components. These tests are expensive because they require building prototype components and testing them on a very elaborate rig. For example, the rig used to test the ability of a tail rotor to withstand bird strikes uses a hydrostatic drive …

Companies producing machinery are often asked to develop their products to accommodate faster operation times while increasing the reliability of the machine. However, a small design change can lead to issues in other areas. For example, when speed increases it often causes inertial loads and vibration, leading to earlier breakdowns. In the past at Kosme, a producer of a full range of turnkey filling, labeling, capping, packaging and conveying solutions for beverage products, engineers used hand calculations to estimate the performance of components and built physical prototypes to evaluate system performance. Problems were frequently discovered during the prototype stage. These problems often required many iterations of revisiting the design and modifying and re-testing the prototype.
