Marc accurately predicts results of dynamic tensile extrusion test

In a wide range of industrial and defense applications, material are required to perform at extreme operating conditions involving large plastic deformation, high strain rates, elevated temperatures and severe dynamic pressure. Some examples of this application are perforating guns in the oil and gas industry, debris impact in aerospace engineering and ship collisions in naval engineering. …

Litens: Adams-Marc co-simulation makes system analysis 15 times faster

It is well established that simulation provides substantial time and cost savings by accurately predicting performance of a proposed design, reducing the need for physical tests. However, a challenge for many design teams is that analyzing multiple non-linear components requires huge computational resources. A typical simulation takes about 30 hours to perform, which limits the …

Rubber mount: Local adaptive meshing = More accurate solutions

Rubber is excellent at isolating shock and vibrations and reducing noise. Its damping properties make it particularly useful in engine mounts and suspension bushings. However, many factors affect the rubber’s damping characteristics and performance, for example, the heat generated during damping, repeated stretching which reduces stiffness, etc. Fillers in the rubber also influence its damping …

Bringing better car door seals to market faster

Cars require a number of automotive body seals – passenger doors, windows, engine and trunk lids, and sunroofs. While static seals, such as those around windshields, are important, they are relatively simple. Dynamic seals on the other hand, such as door and window seals, are complex in function, and therefore in design. They not only …

Simulation of a molded elastomeric helical anchor nerve clamp

The human anatomy nervous system transmits signals to and from the brain for various voluntary and involuntary muscles. Nerve receptors also transmit data to the brain for heat, cold, pain and other sensations. The nerve fibers are protected by a covering or sheath. The ability to control, modify or block the signals from the receptors …

Consistent Management of the Model Build Process

As simulation becomes more embedded in the overall product development process, it becomes important to establish a consistent model build process. An organization can be confident in using simulation results throughout the development lifecycle only if a mature and consistent process is implemented to create the simulation models. The objective of a consistent model build …
