Virtual injection moulding analysis provides manufacturing feasibility of injected components. Potential issues can be preliminary detected to avoid any further cost overrun. Among other, risks in filling, warpage, deflections or cooling can be assessed. An extensive range of materials and conditions can be taken into account.

By using CFD techniques, thermal analysis provides the engineers with the thermal behaviour of a complete product. Thermal loads such as electronics in PCBs, light sources (LED/Bulbs) as well as multiple scenarios can be virtually tested before the real tests. Potential issues in materials, components or light performance can be solved.

SunBurn and SunLoad Analysis allow the detection of any further issue due to the Sun radiation effect. The concentration effect of lenses as well as reflective (metallised, dull, …) and transparent media are taken into account to accurately predict any plastic or component degradation.

Condensation and defogging analysis allow to optimize the product behaviour in bad weather scenarios, humid conditions or cycled temperature. Consequently, technical solutions (ventilations, CAD and innovative systems) are provided so as to avoid electronic malfunctioning, material degradation or lighting performance reduction.

Topological optimization automatically provides the designers with the best material distribution which meets the loading scenarios as the weight is minimised. Mechanical, vibration or thermal loads as well as process restraints are supported.

Modal analysis provides the engineers with the product behaviour when alternate loads are applied. Resonance frequencies are analysed and maximised according to the specified standard which are commonly imposed in the automotive field.

Beyond the vibration analysis, Random Analysis provides the designer with stress and displacement as well as fatigue results. Potential breakage and displacement issues are detected as crack propagation is avoided. Additionally, it is possible to accurately predict and solve any risk of dust generation due to vibration contact.

Random Vibration Analysis

Impact and crash analysis will encourage the product safety and durability. It allows the behaviour evaluation for dynamic loads. Critical scenarios such as a drop of a pedestrian impact can be taken into account to optimise the performance and safety.
