High development speed through rapid insights
Simulation
Resource-intensive trials and product tests can often only determine the consequences of a problem: deformation, overheating, condensation… Realistic simulation can provide valuable input both in the complex determination of possible errors and in the proposal of solutions to eliminate them. Since simulation requires fewer or no prototypes to be built, development costs are reduced. With simulations, you have an overview of the entire system. While a stress analysis on an assembly usually only examines a local site, after a simulation has been carried out, the adjacent components have also been analysed and automatically think outside the box. We have a wide variety of simulation programs in-house, also for special applications. For example, CFD-Star CCM+, Ansys, LS-Dyna and OptiSLang The following list gives you an overview of what we can do for you in the field of simulation:
