FE- calculation and force determination via rigid body simulation
For component design using the FEM method, the loads on the assemblies and individual parts to be designed must be determined. For existing designs, measurements are often carried out for this purpose. One method for determining the acting forces is rigid body simulation. For this purpose, the CAD bodies of an assembly, for which component masses, inertia, functional principles and [...] Read MoreComponent optimization and sheet thickness optimization to save material and manufacturing costs
Achieve optimum functionality of your individual or series components with minimum material and cost input through structural optimization, sheet thickness optimization and topography optimization. Save costs by topology optimization (structural optimization) in areas where your part is hardly loaded at all, through the targeted mathematical removal of material without losing stability. Optimize your [...] through topography optimization Read MoreStructural analysis by FEM calculation to ensure function and product quality
The safeguarding of function and product quality by means of FEM calculation in mechanical and plant engineering is now common practice. Originally, product development using FE analysis was limited to the automotive sector. In the meantime, however, word has spread to other branches of industry that time and cost savings are enormous if prototypes are developed before [...] Read MoreFEM calculation of a stool made of plastic using a 3D printer
Through extensive material tests in cooperation with industrial partners and the development of a corresponding calculation model, Goebel Engineering is one of the few engineering companies able to calculate 3D models from the printer made of stable plastics. Basic material models for FEM calculation For the strength calculation of plastics and wood, failure criteria must first be defined. For this [...]
