The past decade has seen transformative changes in internal combustion engine technology. Revolutionary technological advances of powertrains include the replacement of traditional gasoline internal combustion engines with smaller displacement engines, the use of turbocharging to make smaller displacement engines more powerful and efficient, and the use of lightweight materials in both vehicle bodies and engines. Furthermore, the federal government’s CAFE standards mandate that OEMs develop more fuel-efficient vehicles with lower emissions.

To include the self-heating effect into the fatigue computation, information regarding hysteresis energy is required. As shown in Fig. 1, the hysteresis energy can be calculated by subtracting strain energies during the loading WL and unloading WU event. The calculated hysteresis energy includes information regarding both plastic deformation together with damage induced dissipations.

Aquaplaning of automobile tires simultaneously incorporates various physical phenomena some of which are challenging to model with computer-aided simulation tools. Among those are complex patterned topology and rotational movement of tire, small clearance between ground and tire, free surface flow of water and air and inevitably the elastic nature of tire body and effect of its deformations on fluid flow characteristics.In order to overcome these challenges, Abaqus FE software from SIMULIA and FlowVision CFD package from Capvidia are strongly coupled for bidirectional fluid structure interaction (FSI) co-simulation. This approach is applied to a 205/55/R16 sized tire and same conditions are realized in experimental environment for comparison purposes.

The SIMULIA Living Heart Human Model provides a unique testing environment where a stent can be deployed virtually in coronary arteries and deformed mechanically during the cardiac cycle. Once the mechanical deformation results are obtained, the longterm durability of the stent can be assessed. The virtual nature of the test provides a physiologically accurate methodology to test new and existing devices without exposing patients to unnecessary risk.

This paper describes the material behavior for different families of materials of the DuPont product offering, the performance of a selection of different material models for these materials using the extensive possibilities available in Abaqus, and the collaboration between DuPont and Simulia to advance the developments for a more accurate prediction of their behavior. In addition to the topic of modelling, the challenge of resource-effective data generation, state-of-the-art laboratory testing and corresponding data management on a global scale is discussed.

The use of computational models is well established in many areas of engineering; however the welding is among few fields where design and designer-driven control and optimization remain generally traditional. For example, weld distortion is a frequent problem in various welding applications including additive manufacturing and many techniques have been developed over time to mitigate the distortion. Welding sequence and intermittent welding design, which determine the best welding pattern in multi-pass welds, are familiar techniques to control the distortion when dealing with multi-pass welded structures.

University students participating the NTNU Revolve team, a contestant in the international Formula Student racing competition, needed a way to design strong, lightweight, and cost-effective vehicle components. Using Dassault Systèmes’ SIMULIA portfolio, including Abaqus FEA, Tosca topology optimization and Isight automation tools, students were able to develop highly competitive but safe component designs.

Tech Notes

A three dimensional model of the human axial skeletal structures was developed in order to perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the spine under dynamic loads. Loading was applied to approximate real world traumatic kinetic events in order to study the response of the skeletal system, and to study the effect of loads on the spinal cord and brain.

This paper shows a study for solving a piston skirt scuffing problem in diesel engine. We propose to solve this scuffing problem by studying the piston dynamics analysis using commercial S/W; ABAQUS. The first approach was to develop the piston secondary dynamic analysis method based on the Finite Element Method. The second approach was to clarify the root cause of the diesel piston scuffing case. The last approach was to optimize the piston skirt profile and cylinder block design for reducing the scuffing index. The solution proposed in this study was adopted in the piston and block design.

Zollner Electronik AG engineers were tasked with designing a fully functional, fire-breathing mechatronic dragon for the German Further Drachenstich festival. The team used SIMPACK multi-body simulation software from Dassault Systèmes’ SIMULIA to generate and solve 3D models that predicted and visualized motion, coupling forces, and stresses on the entire flexible system.

Personalized medical devices require 3 enabling technologies: biometric measurements, automated simulation and customized manufacture. Every customized device be it an external prosthetic or an implantable device will follow a similar workflow. For the purpose of this paper, a customized contact lens design will be investigated. A contact lens in essence is an optical suction cup which corrects the abnormalities of the patient’s vision. The lens interfaces with the anterior surface of the cornea by way of a suction pressure. This suction pressure is balanced by the energy stored in the deformed shape of the contact lens. The lens is free to move on the cornea finding its equilibrium position which will be unique for each eye.

The water jacket is an integral part of the engine, ensuring that liquid coolant can flow efficiently over the cylinder heads. However, this structure is also very susceptible to fatigue because of the high pressure and loading frequency to which it is exposed. This paper describes a process we developed to optimize the fatigue durability of a cylinder head water jacket using multiple products from the Simulia portfolio.The results of this study provided excellent design guidance for the sample part and yielded a workflow that could be applied to optimize the durability of other complex components.
