Brand new for your product development

The good old drawing board or the slide rule as well as formularies and scribblers are museum pieces. Today, all development work is done on a PC, also known as a workstation. There's artificial intelligence and virtual reality. CAE tools are used to calculate, design, configure, optimize and simulate. Yes the product developer today it is easy or not? After all, he has to Methods and Processes for product development as well as the software tools available on the market, so that the product development process is as efficient and reliable as possible and the ever-pressing market launch is a successful one. Not only must he operate the software, he also has to be able to update it continuously, learn the test methods and keep his hardware up to date.

Product development for special industries

The following new products are for special industries like the Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, Mobile Machinery has been developed. You will also find new drive technology from the applied research

  • The demand for new sustainable plastics that are also recyclable is increasing. This also applies to thermoplastics, which are often used in the automotive industry. In addition to a material modeling technology that reduces the carbon content in plastic by 60%, you will find other thermoplastic innovations here that save weight, among other things...
  • Interstellar Lab introduces the Biopod self-sustaining food production system, which enables sustainable human life on Mars, Earth and the Moon by creating and reusing food, water and air. A virtual twin is used to simulate, test and compare the performance of the microhabitat and the biological systems...
  • Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) has developed a material testing method and a simulation method for elastomer materials that can be used to improve the performance and service life of components in offshore wind turbines. The material simulation analyzes how the materials behave over the lifetime of a turbine.  
  • The development time for self-driving cars should be reduced to hours instead of weeks. To achieve this, Continental and Nvidia are building a high-performance computer cluster based on the DGX AI system. Virtual data generation, artificial intelligence and the simulation of autonomous vehicles are the future core tasks of the most powerful supercomputer in the automotive industry.  
  • Neomento develops virtual reality-based software solutions for the treatment of mental disorders such as anxiety and addiction. The most effective form of treatment, confrontation in real settings (in vivo), is logistically expensive, challenging and not fully controllable.
  • Altair announces the expansion of the Altair Partner Alliance (APA) with the highly developed visualization and real-time multibody simulation software "Vortex Studio Create" from CM Labs Simulations. The software is now available for use by Altair HyperWorks customers who can gain real-time insights for all device types with the virtual training environment.

Product development for mechanical engineering

Below you will find hardware and software for product development in general and for the Industrial machinery and equipment:


First steel engine from the 3D metal printer

PTC 3D printingPTC has the world's first Micro turbo engine (Picture above) presented, which completely with the 3D printer was made. The only assembly was developed in the CAD software Creo. It contains all rotating and fixed components. The engine was printed with an EOS 3D printer from the material Inconel, a nickel-based, heat-resistant nickel-chromium alloy. It weighs only 3,6 kg.


3Dexperience Lab opened for startups

DassaultLabDassault Systèmes has opened the first 3Dexperience Lab in Germany after Paris, Boston and Pune. The global Impact Lab aims to accelerate pioneering projects with a strong positive impact on society. The new hub in Munich supports young founders and local start-ups in implementing their disruptive ideas into reality. Innovators and doers should be able to fully develop their creativity.


Find the right plain bearing material with the Iglidur configurator

Igus IglidurWhen it comes to wear-resistant tribo-polymers, users have Igus the agony of choice. For small series or series production in injection molding, a prototype from the 3D printer or semi-finished products, the plastics specialist has now developed an offline configurator for its 39 Iglidur standard materials: The user can determine the appropriate material using templates. An Iglidur expert system is also available for the selection and calculation of the service life.


 

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.

Interview with

Michael Sauter,

Country Manager Central Europe, Parametric Technology GmbH, Unterschleißheim:

"The new branding signals the expansion of our business strategy towards service."

 

.... with questions about changes in branding, expansion of the service area and the challenges of the global markets.

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.

KISSsoftThe WB4 module is now available for bearing calculation in Kisssoft: This enables the individual bearings to be calculated directly using the ISO 16281 method, taking into account the internal geometry, without the forces having to be determined in advance in the shaft editor. Actual storage situations and more are taken into account.

kipp0217The Heinrich Kipp factory now enables its customers to configure their control units individually. Specific values ​​are simply entered online, followed by production with the 3D printer. As a result, customers receive precisely tailored components - uncomplicated and on demand.

distrelec09121Distrelec Schuricht is expanding its range on the Internet: From now on, individually designed circuit boards can be configured and ordered quickly and easily in the online shop. A professional assembly service rounds off the offer. The new service is made possible by a cooperation with the engineering office Friedrich (IBF), developer of the professional CAD software "Target 3001" and Beta Layout, the inventor of the "PCB pool" principle. 

PTC's Creo Flow Analysis Extension is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution that allows designers, engineers, and analysts to directly simulate fluid flow problems in Creo. The seamless workflow between CAD and CFD enables users to integrate the analysis early and often to understand product function and performance. The software was specially developed for the designer.

To meet the growing demand for Crown gear Has to face calculation GWJ a Calculation module for bevel gears, consisting of face gears paired with cylindrical Spur gears in program. This module for angular gears is an extension option for the standard calculation solutions e-Assistant and TBK 2014.
