MADYMO is the worldwide standard software for analysing and optimizing occupant safety designs. It is without rival for its accuracy, efficiency and versatility. Using MADYMO, researchers and engineers can model, thoroughly analyse and optimize safety designs early in the development process. This reduces the expense and time involved in building and testing prototypes. Adopting MADYMO also minimises the risk of making design changes late in the development phase. For new or improved vehicle models and components, MADYMO cuts cost and reduces the time-to-market substantially.MADYMO Occupant Models Dummy models: WorldSID 50th – facet Q modelQ0 child – ellipsoid modelQ1 child – ellipsoid modelQ32 child – ellipsoid modelQ3 child – ellipsoid modelQ-Child familyMADYMO Solver DEFINE information in reprint fileDEFINEs with global als...

Generating the Design SpaceGenerating the design space is the first step in setting up a HyperShape/CATIA simulation. The full CAD modeling and GPS functionality of CATIA V5 is available to define design areas, directly apply loads and boundary conditions. The same model is used both to perform an analysis using the CATIA analysis workbench and to perform an optimization using HyperShape/CATIA. Definition of the Optimization ProblemWith HyperShape/CATIA, an intuitive menu system efficiently guides users through the problem setup: definition of design objectives, manufacturing constraints and job submission to OptiStruct in the CATIA V5 environment. Design InterpretationAfter the optimization run OptiStruct’s design proposals can be visualized using GPS. These design proposals are automatically imported as a new part in CATIA V5...

FLACS is a comprehensive, yet easy to use, software tool for modelling (dispersion and explosion) consequences in full 3D for all typical flammable and toxic release scenarios. It is used extensively in the Oil and Gas and Process industries and also increasingly in the nuclear industry, in facilities with dust explosion potential and many other fields. By modelling with CFD (Computation Fluid Dynamics) in full 3D it is possible to predict consequences much more accurately and to include the effect of all contributing and mitigating effects (such as confinement and congestion due to real geometry, ventilation, deluge). A better understanding and higher accuracy of results not only contributes to raising the true level of safety but also allows designers to...

CADfix removes barriers that prevent the reuse of solid models by providing an extensive set of geometry manipulation tools for importing CAD/CAM/CAE data, repairing it, and exporting the data in the most suitable form for reuse in the downstream system. Through a user-friendly Wizard interface, the geometry repair and preparation process ensures that the model is correctly defined and suitably flavored for the downstream application by detecting and repairing a range of CAD geometry issues. CADfix also offers model de-featuring utilities which are very popular with CAE analysis users who require automated de-featuring operations (i.e. joining or collapsing of short edges and small faces, removing fillets and rounds, removing holes, etc.). CADfix is packaged as a desktop or server solution...

Arena-flow 7.3 contains many analysis and ease-of-use enhancements, which enable designers and engineers to gain more insight into core-making behavior than ever before. At the same time, the new ease-of-use features take much of the workload off the user and put that onto the software instead, thereby reducing the time-required to get real answers to time-critical, core-making and tooling-design questions. Core making can be challenging. Both sand and air flow, within the tooling, are essential for making a good core. Arena-flow is not just a process model, but rather a fundamental approach to computing the sand flow and air flow physics of core making. Thus, it is not applicable to only one process, but has been successfully applied to a...
