Our simulation portfolio covers a wide range of disciplines, from solid mechanics (forming or cutting processes) and thermal analysis (heat conduction and solid-state radiation) to fluid flow simulation (CFD).
We are able to model coupled problems. Examples include machining processes involving temperature development or CFD with solid-state heat conduction.
Mechanical
Examples of nonlinear mechanical simulations include elastic-plastic material behavior, large deformations, and contact simulations. These are relevant in metalworking processes, the prediction of plastic support behavior, and much more.
Thermal
Heat treatment plays a major role in a wide range of technical processes. In furnace and cooling systems, precise temperature control is necessary to achieve the desired quality of the final product. Typical challenges involve the design of heating and holding phases, as well as permissible local temperature tolerances (uniformity).
We can perform transient simulations of thermal processes while taking into account all relevant mechanisms of heat transfer (conduction, radiation, and convection).
Fluid simulation
Flow simulations (CFD) are required in numerous technical applications, such as cooling processes or wind load calculations for buildings and large-scale installations.
We place particular emphasis on LES methods with high spatial and temporal accuracy. With the help of GPUs, we are able to process these problems quickly.
