Topology optimization: Increased efficiency sets new standards for DIWA automatic transmissions.
Increasing sizes, higher performance and tougher design constraints require better - weight and stiffness optimal - designs of wind turbine components.
Higher component reliability by hotspot stress reduction of 30%.
Topology optimization accelerates development process and leads to material savings of 20% for new design of telehandler axle.
Safety-relevant component: Only 1 prototype was required!
BIOCAST® - a competitive edge - Heidenreich & Harbeck AG has been able to manufacture superior casted products much quicker thanks to topology optimization.
Increasing stiffness demands required modern design methods to save development time and weight.
The weight of a statically and dynamically loaded wheel carrier was reduced under consideration of specific misuse load cases.
A control arm had to be designed as light as possible under consideration of durability and misuse load cases.
For the existing tractor lever component, the loading lead to large displacements and inadmissible high stresses in the design. A design change had to be applied.
Without changing torsional stiffness and stresses assembly openings had to be added to a camshaft absorber.
Changes to the front axle lead to increased stiffness requirements. Stresses had to be reduced by at least 25%.
Bead stiffeners had to be implemented to improve the dynamic behavior of a muffler of an automotive fuel gas system. In few analysis steps, Tosca Structure.bead automatically generated a producible optimum bead layout.
