Technical calculations and simulations are also known under the term CAE, which stands for Computer Aided Engineering. This means that we can test and calculate real loads occurring later on the basis of models on the computer. Long before there is the possibility to create a physical prototype, calculations are already made [...].
What flow simulations are needed for can be illustrated very clearly using the example of a motor vehicle. In times where the highest possible energy efficiency is necessary, flow losses on a moving vehicle must be investigated in detail. The well-known air resistance value provides information about the "loss" of drive energy during the movement of the vehicle through the [...]
In the FEM simulation of drop tests, the explicit finite element method is used to calculate the component loads. This method, also known as explicit finite element analysis, is used to solve various physical problems, such as the deformation or strength calculation in this case. This process, which can be partially automated, allows us to calculate all structures and [...]
CFD simulation refers to numerical flow simulation, where CFD is the abbreviation for "Computational Fluid Dynamics". The aim of this simulation method is to mimic flows and flow patterns computationally. In this way, it is possible to visualise and analyse flow paths and flow patterns without having to carry out an actual flow measurement. Furthermore, [...]
Topology optimization began in 1904 with Michell structures. Here, Michell considered beam structures and also developed a design theory whereby all beam structures intersect each other at a 90° angle. As a result, an optimal arrangement of tensile and compressive stresses was created. Furthermore, today this is also a method [...].
