CAE Software: News for simulation and calculation

CAE software or in detail Computer aided engineering and in German computer-aided development is the tool of the trade for designers and development engineers. CAE comprises the entire computer-aided support in engineering. What used to be laboriously calculated on paper with formulas, tables and calculators is now done by the CAE software.

CAE engineering includes simulation, analysis, optimization and validation. DMU (digital mock-up / digital test model), FEM (finite element method), CFD (computational fluid dynamics), MKS, CAQ and CAM as well as fluid or flow simulation are among others sub-areas of CAE. Also the CAD Software belongs to the CAE, the CAD computer aided design can be found in a separate category.

Brand new CAE software

In the following we present new releases and updates of computer-aided engineering for the Product development in the age of Industry 4.0 - Bring your tools up to date!

Sustainable thermoplastics digitized for the automotive industry

thermoplasticsSumika Polymer Compounds Europe (SPC Europe) and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence are working together to digitize the performance of new sustainable thermoplastics (PP) for the automotive industry. Based on the new multiscale technology for material modeling of thermoplastics, engineers can develop recyclable components and thus reduce the carbon footprint of future vehicles.


 

The new CAE software Odyssey A-Eye from Hexagon (MSC Software) gives users without expert knowledge access to powerful digital twins Artificial intelligence (AI) applications. These require less input data and use image recognition to predict behavior. Odyssey is based on machine learning and performs parametric design and optimization in real time.

MSC software CAE simulation

 

Planning, testing and validating production concepts realistically in virtual space enables simulation software Visual Components from dualis. With factory simulation, visualization of the processes or emulation in 3D, complex automated production can be planned in advance and time and costs can be saved in project planning and ongoing operations.

ina1INA-Lineartechnik offers its customers a new online calculation tool for driven linear units and multi-axis positioning systems free of charge on the Internet and only available online. Based on those developed by the Schaeffler Group Rolling "Bearinxs" calculation software calculates "Bearinx-online Easy Linearsystem" the nominal service life and static load safety of single and multi-axis positioning systems with driven INA linear modules. Product-specific influencing variables are also taken into account, such as

schaeffler01161Schaeffler's "Bearinx" calculation software has been expanded to include many calculation options for the Rollinginterpretation expanded. Furthermore, a detailed consideration of the gearing as well as the universal component "Optikit" for the optimization of any parameters have now been integrated. User-friendliness has also been improved by reorganizing the input dialogs.

Madler offers a tool for the design and ordering of Timing belts-Antrieben. This can be used, for example Calculate timing belt length, This free Timing belt calculation program can be started without login and calculates the common types and sizes. The center distance, necessary belt length and width as well as the safety factor for the power transmission are calculated.

Especially in the initial phase of a project, the designer must be able to model different variants of possible solutions quickly and compactly in order to then compare them with one another with regard to their main criteria. With "Kissdesign" from Kisssoft a simple, quick and uncomplicated model construction is possible. This system program is available from the current Kisssoft release 2019.


 

vishay0316Vishay Intertechnology introduces the world's first tool for calculating the impedance of ferrite beads. The online calculator makes it quick and easy to calculate the impedance of Vishay's most popular ferrite beads at a given frequency and DC bias current.

ejot0113As a support for designers and developers, Ejot offers forecast programs for the pre-design of direct screw connections. With these tools, screw connection parameters can be calculated depending on materials and construction parameters. Numerous practical examples show that these programs can already achieve significant savings during the development phase. The new "Altra Calc" program was specially developed for predicting direct screw connections in light metals.

Forming Technologies (FTI) provides for online Sheet metal processing new functionalities for the virtual manufacturing in front. With the Forming suite Software enables the process simulation for sheet metal forming to be implemented more efficiently. CAD interoperability and Hexagon-3D scans. The forming suite enables manufacturers to better estimate the tool and material costs in sheet metal processing and to assess the design implementation.

As part of their cooperation SKF and KISSsoft a new interface to the Bearing calculation created which the Gear construction Simplified: This enables the engineers to find the ones that are suitable for the machine design Warehouse based on cutting-edge storage technologies.

Bearing calculation for gear unit design

 

If the designer designs a new machine, he has to use the individual ones Machine Elements dimension. There are two concepts for analyzing it. FEM as the finite element method or the Machine elements method or the analytical or standardized method. In KISSsoft the developer finds a combination of both.

GWJ0912GWJ Technology provides an extensively expanded version of the calculation module for splined shaft connections within their web-based software gear calculation for gear transmission "eAssistant" in front. So far, the calculation of splines was supported by DIN 5480. In addition, an individual geometry definition is possible. The calculation for splined shaft connections according to ISO and ANSI 4156 B92.2 is now integrated.
