Automotive industry
The fiercely competitive automotive market places high demands on vehicle development cycles and quality performance. CAE plays a crucial role in driving lean design and rapid automotive development processes, significantly saving development costs and shortening development cycles. During the structural design phase, crash safety analysis can completely control the safety risks of new vehicles. Developing a brand-new model without CAE analysis carries immense risks. In the initial conceptual design phase, CFD calculations can easily assess indicators such as the new vehicle's drag coefficient without the need for wind tunnel testing, saving considerable time and expense. Fwtech's CAE consulting offers comprehensive solutions for the automotive industry, including CFD analysis, dynamics analysis, durability analysis, and specialized analysis of critical components.
Car door impact transient analysis
Based on dynamics and the finite element method, ABAQUS is used for transient analysis of car door impact. By applying an initial velocity to the car door and observing the door's response, information such as nodal displacement, element forces, and stresses can be obtained. This provides input data for subsequent fatigue analysis.
Automotive collision analysis
Automotive crash tests are categorized as follows: the 100% frontal collision at 56 km/h and the 40% offset collision at 63 km/h, with peak acceleration reaching 35 G. These tests simulate a head-on collision between two vehicles while in motion to evaluate vehicle structural integrity and assess potential human injury.
