How to Improve the Accuracy of Material Simulations When Designing for Weight Reduction
- using testing and measuring instruments
15:00PM CET | 10:00AM US EST | 2:00PM GMT | 19:30PM IST
Several new materials have been developed that are essential for LCA and suitable for weight reduction. In order to improve the accuracy of material simulations needed to create safe product designs, unique material properties must be known in order to properly simulate the material and its structure.
In this webinar, we will introduce testing and measuring techniques to accurately measure material properties required to improve the simulation accuracy of composite materials (CFRP) and press forming (high tension steel).
Webinar 1
“Case study of material evaluation and technologies for achieving high-precision CAE analysis”
Since the internal structure of a composite material is complicated, an accurate analysis model cannot be constructed by the conventional design method where the internal structure of the material is considered to be uniform.
Multi-scale simulation, therefore, is used, but in order to improve the accuracy of the simulation, "the accurate internal structure of the composite material" and the "accurate characteristic value that serves as a reference for verifying the validity of the simulation model" needs to be understood. We will introduce the following testing and measuring examples.
Webinar 2
“Press forming simulation: examples of material evaluation for higher press simulation precision”
In press working, wrinkles, cracks, and spring back are likely to occur, and costs may increase due to an increase in the number of prototype variations created during the development process.
With the use of press simulations, however, the number of prototypes created can be reduced, but press simulation requires several unique and accurate material properties in addition to the normal material properties. We will introduce several testing examples for these unique material properties required for press simulation.
Both webinars will be hosted in the same session.
