Bearing Transmission Failures: How to Avoid Them With Virtual Prototyping

Bearings allow complex machinery to rotate by making the rotation possible while reducing friction, and are therefore vital to system efficiency and reliability. Improving bearing design through virtual prototyping is a cost-effective and thorough design approach, which reduces transmission downtime and failures.

Excellence in electric vehicle NVH at Karma Automotive

What should an electric sports car engine sound like? There is currently no clear answer to this question, as there is very little history of electric vehicles to draw from. Engine noise is also brand-specific, so even existing electric vehicles will sound different depending on which company produced them.

Chengdu: battery simulation lab revolutionizes battery design

How the Chengdu battery simulation demonstrator at the Chengdu engineering center can help electric vehicle automakers reduce development time considerably.

How Rule of Mixtures is Killing Your Composite Design

Rule of Mixtures is probably the most known and widespread method of estimating composite properties. Its notoriety in composite design circles is also its main problem: Rule of Mixtures has been overused and applied to cases that do not even come close to respecting its original, simplifying assumptions.

Fatigue Challenge of Additive Manufacturing

The Fatigue Challenge of Additive Manufacturing: A Simulation-Based Approach

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D-printing, allows the production of complex components layer by layer, using only the material you need. Siemens Digital Industries Software offers simulation-based solutions to predict and optimize Additive Manufacturing product performance.
