Towards a unified Simcenter solution for electric machine design

Having a scalable model enables you to use your favorite system simulation tool for various simulation purposes, all along different design stages.
 
If I look in particular at electric mach…

Toyota Corolla: retrospective of the world’s most popular car (Part 1)

I recently went through Chris Beves’ post about Formula One aerodynamics history and realized that simulation can do much more than predicting the future. Indeed, it’s also interesting to l…

Vessel hybridization, too ambitious you said?

In one of his  previous article  Jan Van Os, vice president of marine industry strategy for Siemens PLM Software, explains how digitalization in the shipbuilding industry supports the oppor…

Failure mode and effect analysis: don’t solely trust your experts

S-FMEAs (System Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and dysfunctional analysis in general are becoming cornerstones of product development when it comes to autonomous vehicles. As an example, fun…

Give me a brake! Virtually test autonomous emergency braking systems

A majority of accidents are caused by late braking or braking with insufficient force. The driver might be distracted, the visibility poor, or another road user makes an unpredictable move. Year over…

These machinery companies opted for the same engineering solution – Guess who?

Can you guess who made these statements?
“Due to rising energy prices, low energy consumption is essential to managing operational expenses. Our products must deliver the highest fabric quality at …

Doosan – Improving the energy efficiency of excavators

I promised in my previous post that there would be customers interview coming soon… Well here’s the first one of many!
 
Right before kick-off of the Simcenter Conference, we made a trip to …

The sense of virtual sensors

While old-timers are entirely mechanical, our vehicles are full of electronics. And thus with sensors. Sensors provide information well beyond speed and fuel levels. They deliver a limitless amo…

Many physical domains and applications in one system simulation tool

Many simulation tools exist. But a lot of them are mainly dedicated to a single physical domain: fluids, electrics, mechanics or thermal, for instance. Others are more dedicated to an application suc…
