This webinar will showcase SIMULIA’s Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) portfolio and how it can accelerate innovation in Life Sciences and Healthcare. The webinar will also demonstrate the power of using collaborative and integrated design and modeling & simulation (MODSIM) to create and evaluate conceptual designs early in the development process, help optimize design performance, and democratize simulations i.e., empower designers, engineers, and analysts to collaborate.

Webinar Highlights:

• Detailed examples of using modeling and CFD simulation to explore and improve medical device performance, evaluate potential patient treatment and maintain safer environment for patients and clinicians
• Overview of MODSIM approach using 3DEXPERIENCE platform to accelerate time to market through the use of collaborative design and modeling
• SIMULIA’s diverse fluid offerings, including steady & transient finite volume scheme based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) and transient & compressible flow solver based on Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)

As the world shifts towards carbon neutrality, the automotive industry is tasked with creating sustainable vehicles that comply with strict climate regulations.

To succeed, they must significantly increase their efforts to develop innovative vehicle concepts with more variants upfront, while minimizing physical prototypes. And this is where the 3DEXPERIENCE platform steps in.

Join us for this webinar where our experts addressed key topics related to:

• Gaining a holistic view for accurate product behavior predictions
• Simulation for improved performance insight and validation
• Accelerate decision-making by early trade-offs and alternative assessment
• Full team collaboration for defining, designing, and validating product requirements and performance

In contrast to high-resolution finite element methods, a strength of multibody system models is the description of complex mechanical systems with a comparatively small number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a low computational effort. 

This is necessary for the analyses of multiple design variants. Hence the integration of structural models made in Abaqus into Simpack multibody system models requires reduced use of order modeling techniques. Different levels of modelling fidelity enable the optimum balance between computation time and the depth of results to be achieved. They range from modeling the linear displacement field based on displacement mode vectors via reduced order models that capture large displacement effects up to a co-simulation with a full-sized nonlinear Abaqus model. 

This webinar will explain some of these modeling techniques, such as the automatic selection of displacement modes, the mode selection for surface-wise interactions (contact forces), the assembly of multiple reduced finite element models into a single flexible body, the nonlinear reduction of a wind turbine rotor blade and finally the preparation of linear flexible bodies and the necessary quality checks in the structures apps of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Highlights:

• Realistic simulation of mechanical systems including structural flexibility
• Fatigue & strength calculation considering the context of a mechanical system and realistic simulation scenarios

The integration of requirements engineering, system architecture, design and validation creates a stable foundation for a functioning development process.

However, there are still challenges:

A single-source-of-truth does not exist for the validation of technical project data

Departments work in silos, often leading to inconsistencies in the value creation process

Employees are more concerned with data search and interpretation resulting in decreased productivity

Model-Based Engineering (MBSE) breaks down the barriers by connecting interdisciplinary teams to enable a better understanding of the assignment, the scenarios and the needs of everyone involved.

Starting with the requirements specification, the definition of the use cases and the general understanding of the context of the system to be developed, a consistent but also complete system model can be achieved. This system model then builds the core of the following verification & validation processes that go hand in with the simulation models, reducing the need for prototypes within the product development process.

Using an e-drive as an example, this webinar will show how efficient product development is possible on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Medical devices must meet regulatory requirements and standards during the certification process for commercial use and product distribution. This process is more complex when trans-disciplinary teams are involved through the entire product lifecycle.

1D-simulation tools provide an efficient multi-physics analysis platform to evaluate behavior of different aspects of the design against requirements. This platform helps engineers to develop a virtual twin of the final product. This allows designers and analysts to evaluate the design, before any physical prototype is developed.

During this webinar, we will explore a method based on Model Based Systems Engineering approach that aligns design, engineering, and manufacturing team to create robust and efficient products. This method allows evaluating and validating the design and product from requirements to manufacturing and services.

Simulation models not only help to generate a virtual twin of the product, also can be helpful through service, troubleshooting and calibration of the equipment. Integration of the MBSE method with change and revision management throughout a project lifecycle helps managers and designers to trace through all aspects of the design during the lifecycle of the product development.

Sustainability is one of the major challenges for CPG-R companies. CPG-R companies have sustainability targets in place to reduce their carbon footprint, where light weighting, more recycled instead of virgin plastics and alternative materials play an important role for the design of more eco-friendly packaging. More agile development processes are necessary to develop the best package in a short timeframe, with a massive use of simulation for virtual instead of physical testing, to be able to quickly validate designs, evaluate material alternatives, reduce the weight and run trade-off studies. 

All plastic bottles from any producer need to match similar types of requirements. Top load, squeeze, capping, opening of the lid, and drop test are probably the most relevant scenarios to validate bottle performance in an early design stage.

SIMULIA on 3DEXPERIENCE platform with Abaqus solver technology help to replace time consuming physical prototypes by much faster simulations. On top of that, there is a unique toolset to capture and re-use simulation experts know-how and create easy-to-use web UI’s to execute complex simulation even from a cell phone. Now, complex simulations can be used directly by designers or packaging managers, who can quickly execute their highly repetitive day-to-day tasks like the above mentioned scenarios.

Technology trends as the connected aircraft are transforming the way we communicate on and with an aircraft. The connected aircraft makes flights safer by upgrading air traffic management systems, allows for predictive maintenance, improves fleet management, flight operations, and aircraft turnaround time, and finally, it reduces operational costs and offers more passenger entertainment.

Among other technical solutions, the connected aircraft relies on seamless high-speed connectivity in the sky. Wireless technology is one of the backbones of high-speed connectivity. It helps enable radio links between aircraft, drones, satellites, ships and ground stations. Installed antennas are key elements in establishing wireless links.

Designing antennas and their integration on aircraft and spacecraft is a challenging task. Antenna requirements must be met, installed antenna performances must be satisfied, and connected radios must work without degradation.
