An integrated platform for airframe analysis<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Simcenter 3D is an ideal platform for end-to-end simulation and certification for airframes. As a continuation of the updates made in recent releases aimed at simplifying, automating, and ultimately reducing the time workflows take, this release continues that process with a tool to save you significant time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margin of safety – Advanced load idealization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flat panel buckling under combined longitudinal, shear and bending loads requires the linear variation of loads along an edge. To do this with Nodal Force Report (NFR) would require an NFR at every node. Now, in the 2506 release, you can use Grip point forces and moments to create custom flat panels with bending nodes. This streamlines the integration of virtually any FE result-based method in your margin of safety analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Integrated e-drive workflow<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The significant NVH improvements across many industries in recent years mean that it is no longer possible to achieve the required performance while engineers work in silos, particularly in the case of the development of electric vehicles. Therefore, optimized performance comes when workflows are fully integrated so the effects of one system or part on its neighbours can be fully understood and accounted for. The following updates, while in different domains, all contribute to improving the NVH performance of e-vehicles and work best within a fully integrated workflow.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVH analysis with poro-elastic materials in the acoustic encapsulations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The enhanced Acoustic Transfer Vector (ATV) approach is a cutting-edge feature that now includes the effects of poro-elastic materials within acoustic encapsulations. This approach offers fast and accurate multi-RPM noise radiation predictions by seamlessly integrating the sound-damping capabilities of these materials, such as those used in an engine cover such as that used in the study shown in the image. Simcenter 3D empowers you to design e-drives that perform correctly the first time, ensuring a quieter and more efficient solution for modern e-mobility challenges. Experience the future of e-drive NVH analysis and elevate your design capabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
