By Riccardo Testi | Piaggio & C.
Social and environmental factors continue to drive demand for electric vehicles. In this article, we describe how Piaggio, which produces motorcycles and scooters including the world-renowned brands Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Vespa and Piaggio, used computer-assisted engineering simulation to evaluate the structural safety, performance and dynamic behavior of the driving mechanism of a two-wheeled vehicle under both normal and spurious operating conditions, specifically static and fast dynamic conditions.

The text provides an in-depth account of Stefano Odorizzi’s journey in founding and growing EnginSoft, our engineering company specializing in computer simulation and modelling. Established in 1984, EnginSoft overcame early challenges, such as the high cost of computing, to emerge as a leader in simulation services, particularly in the fields of mechanical engineering and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The narrative highlights several key milestones in the company’s history.

CASE STUDY
This technical article describes a project that was undertaken by TAE SUNG Software and Engineering, in collaboration with DY AUTO in Korea, to establish a computerized process to conduct three-dimensional real-scale analysis of any of the three types of windshield wiper currently in use, and to establish a specific standard for evaluating wiper performance.
