FEM example: Calculation of a pedestrian bridge

This FEM example from practice for the static calculation of a pedestrian bridge was developed within the framework of a non-profit project in cooperation with the company Kirchgässner Elektrotechnik GmbH, with whom we have a long-standing partnership. Kirchgässner Elektrotechnik GmbH is a strongly expanding family business with headquarters in Binau and the right contact for [...] Read More

FE analysis of rubber and plastic components

Linear-elastic material models are generally unsuitable for the FEM calculation of rubber or plastic components. Small strains are assumed for linear calculations. When calculating the strength of rubber or hyper-elastic plastics, we must assume both high strains and non-linear material behaviour. The correct selection of the material model and the corresponding [...] Read More

FSI simulation of a cylinder head

The FSI simulation (fluid-structure interaction) describes the interactions between mechanics and flow on the components under consideration. CFD analysis and FE analysis are coupled together. In this simulation example, the influence of air cooling by heat conduction and heat transfer at the cylinder head on the mechanical stresses, deformations and forces in the component is to be investigated. For the execution of the [...] Read More

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 More

FEM 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 [...]
