Services and Products

Service portfolio

Structure simulation

Structure simulation includes the following sub-fieldsat TECOSIM:

◾ Crash simulation◾ Stiffness analysis◾ Durability analysis◾ Fatigue analysis◾ Vibration and NVH analysis (noise, vibration, harshness)◾ Optimisation

Structure simulations help to enhance the performance of components and products, reduce weight or cut production costs.

Service portfolio

Computational fluid dynamics

◾ One-dimensional fluid dynamics calculations◾ Multi-dimensional fluid dynamics calculations◾ Thermal calculations

Although we may not perceive them, flows are present in all areas of life. A large number of machines and processes only function on the basis of flows, which may involve air, flowing gases, water or other liquids. Based on numerical methods and algorithms, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) make it possible to calculate the complex processes related to flows and represent them in models. They can be used to provide a precise measurement of speeds, pressures, density spreads, concentration distribution and temperature distribution.

Service portfolio

Multi-body system simulation

Virtually all branches of industry make use of complex me-chanical systems, most of which contain a number of moving parts. TECOSIM engineers use multi-body system simulation to ensure that individual components interact with one another in an optimum way right from the development stage.

TECOSIM has specialised in the following application fields:

◾ Calculation for powertrain components and modules◾ Calculation for chassis components◾ Vehicle components, such as hoods on convertibles◾ Occupant safety◾ Kinematic simulations (movement simulation)

Service portfolio

System simulation

System simulation is used to examine highly complex overall systems in which many sub-systems interact. Mapping and simulating such a system is a supreme discipline: the physical properties of all components and sub-systems in-terconnected with each other and exerting influence on one another must be described in a mathematically correct way and their behaviour evaluated. TECOSIM has specialised in 1D simulation for the automotive industry.

Product portfolio

TEC|BENCH

Patented by TECOSIM, TEC|BENCH is a process solution which provides virtual comparison with competitors‘ products. We use hardware data to produce CAE models in several stages, forwarding valuable virtual information acquired from these models directly into the engineers‘ development environment.

Other advantages at a glance:

◾ Better understanding of rival products◾ Savings on time and costs◾ Needs-based and results-oriented analyses for specific tasks◾ Unites the key fields of engineering expertise: testing, benchmarking, scanning, reverse engineering and simulation

Product portfolio

TEC|CONCEPTReducing production costs or weight often poses a major challenge for vehicle developers as a result of complex vehicle structures. This is due to factors such as conflicting require-ments or the wide variety of materials available on the market today. TECOSIM has developed the fast concept development method (TEC|CONCEPT) in cooperation with partners to deal with such issues. This process is able to leverage improvement potential thanks to computer-assisted optimisation. Solutions produced are presented in a native CAD format (Catia), which allows a cross-disciplinary approach to discussing the results.

TEC|WRXTEC|WRX is a software application based on Altair‘s HyperMesh.The ‚toolbox‘ makes a CAE engineer‘s working day significantly easier when generating models. Depending on the task, they can save anything from a few minutes to several hours‘ work.
