Simulation and analysis, or Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), enables engineers and organizations to analyze and explore new packaging processes and methods in a virtual environment, reducing the time and cost requirements associated with physical and experimental testing. For over 40 years, product manufacturers in transportation industries have relied on computer simulations as a means to …
If you are reading this, you are most likely doing research and investigating Finite Element Analysis software to select and purchase. In this post, I highlight 3 things to keep in mind when selecting an FEA software package. The 3 are listed in no particular order. Do you have your own 3? Feel free to …
Structural vibrations due for example to the engine functioning or the ground excitation transmitted by the wheels is one of the biggest challenges for engineering applications. In case this kind of behavior is not well mastered, that can cause fatigue failures or unwanted noise. Such product defects would concretely bring an increase of safety risk …
Aircraft structures are subjected to numerous environments that cause external and internal loads to vary. Calculating such loads is an essential part of aircraft development and safety, but requires a complex combination of tools and methods. Watch our webinar series and learn how CAE software can be better used to improve loads methods and processes. …
The lifecycle cost and reliability of flight control surfaces are critical aspects of fixed wing aircraft development. Physical prototype testing is used to validate and improve the performance of common control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, rudders, spoilers, flaps, slats, and air brakes. Unfortunately such flight control systems have large loads that are difficult and …
The JEC Group awarded Digimat with its 2014 JEC Americas Innovation Award at its recent event in Boston. JEC awards have showcased excellence in composite manufacturing for 14 years, singling out more than 150 companies and 350 partners for contributions to improving composites technology and enhancing value for end users. Digimat, the nonlinear, multi-scale material and structure …
