Secure competition advantages with optimization and virtual reality

Detail of the turning milling center index G300 (openPR) - by the use of optimization and reverse-feed solutions, today substantial time and cost savings can be realized and be secured with it a clear lead over the competition during the product development process in particular also for KMU. Of it the participants of the expert Workshops could convince themselves „applied optimization in the virtual product development “in the context of the meeting row of the Virtual dimension center (VDC) skin brook locally.

„Beyond the CAE, CAD and PDM systems, used today, the consistent employment of the process automation and the optimization on the basis of numeric Simulationen offers as well as associated visualization an enormous potential, in order to meet the challenges during the product development process, “so to Dr. Jürgen Sauter, managing director that FE-DESIGN GmbH Karlsruhe and prominent method developer within the range of the optimization. „The constantly growing arithmetic performance with sinking hardware prices makes for it best conditions available, which it applies to use “.

In the course of its Workshop contribution Sauter presented the today technologically available optimization procedures, which are particularly goal-prominent if they are suitably selected. The user has the choice between the general parameter optimization by material properties or CAD geometry, the optimization of sheet metal thickness and fiber adjustments in laminates, the topology optimization (Berechung of the optimal material distribution in given a building area under certain boundary conditions) as well as the parameter-free form, sicken and geometry optimization up to Design OF of experiment and Response Surface procedure, multidiscipline optimization and stochastics, which consider also the influence of dispersions.

„Finally all procedures have their authorization and to help to reduce the component weight to increase the firmness and life span the dynamic and acoustic characteristics to improve. Thus both substantial cost savings and sinking development times are realized with rising quality. And who would like to not immediately make today in its enterprise, that can co-operate within this range on much experience develop can “summarizes Dr. Jürgen Sauter with a competent and engaged service Dienstleister.

In order to be able to near-go with given budget and schedule with the correct solution strategy to the optimization problem, the respective boundary conditions must such as building area (- restrictions), manufacturing method and the optimization goals admit to be. In addition a model must be available, which illustrates the material structure behavior accurately enough and also reacted to a change of the Design variables appropriately. Here the support suitable by FE-DESIGN like TOSCA, OPTIMUS or the CLEAR View Optimizer e.g. offers optimization solutions.

In the connection Dr. Andreas Wierse, managing director of the Stuttgart VISENSO GmbH, prominent offerer of software solutions for the analysis of Berechungsergebnissen in the virtual reality presented, the increase in value with the visualization of optimization results in the virtual area. The simulation models of the companies Gebr. Heller engine works GmbH and the index works GmbH & CO. Kg cock & Tessky (two Swabian Mittelständler, which rank in their market segments among the manufacturers leading world-wide), were read in directly from TOSCA into the reverse-feed software COVISE. The models, which describe both practical questions from the development of new turning working on and milling processing centers, clarify, as the dynamic behavior of machine tools can be already measured in the apron of the building to physical prototypes. With the help of suitable optimization strategies the structural design was changed in such a way that the dynamic behavior be improved and the cut achievement and the machine value could be strongly increased. By the additional employment of the reverse-feed technology the analysis of the simulation results improved clearly. Thus left themselves bspw. Oscillation fashions point out, which had to be recognized otherwise only with difficulty. „By 1:1 Erfahrbarkeit and the direct interaction with the model the tuning in the team could be simplified clearly “, explains Dr. Andreas Wierse.

With the advancement from TOSCA to the topology optimization of flow structures (TOSCA.fluid), i.e. the optimum design of construction units by the liquid or gaseous materials flow (bspw. Engines, exhaust and climatic systems) will intensify FE-DESIGN and VISENSO in the future their co-operation within the range of the optimization and visualization.

The offered solutions address themselves in particular to users from the construction of vehicles and machine of fine mechanics, medical technology and plastics engineering.
