Automotive, Rail and Transport Industries

EnginSoft boasts a broad range of multi-disciplinary expertise which spans from mechanical and resistance analyses, deformability and durability, crash analysis and ride comfort to the thermal, fluid dynamic, acoustic, electromagnetic and optical fields.

The automotive industry has been using computer-based engineering since the 1980s.

Initially simulations were limited to structural verification of single components, with the first simulations for production processes such as foundry, deep-drawing and plastic molding. Since then, technological advancements have made the computer processing power available at lower costs. This has led to the virtual simulation, of both components and complex systems, with a high degree of confidence, making it an integral part of the product design and development process for both the OEM and tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers to the automotive industry.

For the last several years the industry has been investing in simulation based engineering projects and OEMs and their suppliers are now putting more emphasis on multiobjective optimization.

Today, numerical simulation models are indispensable tools for: reducing the time to market and product development costs, especially in the design phase of a product when crucial choices are made and where the subsequent reversal of those choices can prove to be extremely costly, and facing new technological challenges.

  • The use of new materials such as light alloys, high strength steel, composites and nanomaterial coatings
  • New manufacturing processes and joining technologies
  • New methane, biogas, fuel cell, hydrogen or electric fuel systems that are either running solely on that fuel or as a hybrid system
  • New vehicle architecture for city driving or hybrid vehicles
  • Optimization, driven by the need for improved components, systems and the entire vehicle – this has inevitably led to the use of numerical simulation in the design phases as opposed to using it just in the verification phase

Facing new technological challenges

EnginSoft has been a player in virtual simulation since its inception.
With years of consultancy projects behind it in the automotive industry, EnginSoft boasts a broad range of multi-disciplinary expertise which spans from mechanical and resistance analyses, deformability and durability, crash analysis and ride comfort to the thermal, fluid dynamic, acoustic, electromagnetic and optical fields.

Using the best commercial tools for the job, and writing custom routines when necessary to complete the job, we cover simulation and the optimization of the entire production processes.

A perspective on simulation in the automotive industry

Face to face with Paul Stewart, design process leader and consultant

Futurities, our EnginSoft's SBE&S Magazine, interviewed Dr Paul Stewart about his thoughts on the evolution of simulation’s role in the design process in the automotive industry, the evolving roles of CAD and CAE and the move to freeform deformation in automotive design, as well as the likely impact and role of artificial intelligence technologies in this space.

My journey with aerodynamics and design began when learning to sail at 10 years old. At first imagining the wind moving through the sails to make the boat go forward and later, when teaching racing, helping students think about the air moving over the shape of the sail surfaces as we learned to trim them to maximize boat speed. Yes, the mathematics and physics are important, but ultimately good design comes from a natural understanding of behavior. This is what we, as engineers, should provide.

Rubber fatigue ≠ metal fatigue: mean strain effects

The article focuses on the difference in fatigue behaviour between rubber and metal materials. While metal fatigue is often described by a simple rule: increasing mean strain is detrimental to fatigue life, rubber fatigue is more complex and depends on the material's ability to strain crystallize. The text concludes that while tensile mean stresses are always detrimental in metals, in rubber they may be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether the rubber can strain crystallize.
