Manufacturing Simulation Reduces Development Costs and Time in Cold Forming Tool Design

Omni-Lite Industries is an advanced material company. They recently designed a new part that was exhibiting a unique material flow. The part was cold formed out of 1100 aluminum material.

The initial tool design was completed and reviewed using the Simufact.forming simulation. Upon initial review, everything seemed to be acceptable, with the exception of the volume of material in the flange of the part. The second station trap extrusion die radius was then reduced in order to accommodate the material volume requirements.

Designing Spinal Disc Prosthesis Implants Using Short Fiber Reinforced Composites

Designing Spinal Disc Prosthesis Implants Using Short Fiber Reinforced Composites   Spinal injury and the gradual deterioration of spinal discs that lead to back pain or spinal disorders can be treated surgically. One of the most promising surgical options under continuous development is the use of artificial discs to replace the patient’s natural spinal disc. …

Why Traditional Data Management Methods Are No Longer Efficient for Simulation

There are several engineering software environments that cover a broad range of products, derivatives, duty cycles, and multi-stage/multi-discipline simulations. Some manufacturers have a regulatory environment or liability issues that require them to use and document all the simulation activities they have performed, or the ones they need to optimize, which can mean that every simulation …

Multibody Dynamics Integrated with Simulation Process and Data Management

  Today, manufacturing firms are avoiding iterative and costly physical testing processes by implementing CAE tools into their engineering cycle. They only produce few or sometimes no prototypes at all and they easily test the products’ durability, noise and vibration harshness (NVH), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and morewith these tools during the design process. Particularly …
