Coming soon.

As a turbocharger supplier to the European automotive market our simulation efforts have been mainly focused on aerodynamic and structural evaluations of turbochargers. With the automotive powertrains diversifying to fully electric, hydrogen fuel cells and hybrid ICE powertrains, also our simulation challenges diversify. A short talk about how a group of mechanical engineers is finding their way in new applications of their expertise and simulation tools.

Ansys Mechanical has been the go-to tool for engineering analysts to simulate their structural mechanics problems for the last 15 years. This presentation will review the progress which has been made in that time, summarise where we stand today and look forward to what is to come at the next release.

The use of Ansys Electronics solution suite minimizes the testing costs, ensures regulatory compliance, improves reliability and drastically reduces your product development time. All this while helping you build the best-in-class and cutting-edge products. Leverage the simulation capability from Ansys to solve the most critical aspects of your designs.

In this session we look at how Model-Based Definition (MBD)/Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) can play an important part in your Digital Transformation journey. The session will start with a brief introduction to MBD/MBE, where we talk about what exactly it is, the value it can bring to an organisation, as well things to consider when planning to implement it. This is followed by a demonstration which shows how MBD/MBE can be applied to enable the digital thread using a specific use case.

Discover AGCO's application of Augmented Reality (AR) in agricultural training. This presentation delves into the 'why' and 'how' of AGCO's AR training approach, offering practical insights and a step-by-step journey towards a transformative solution.

Discover new valuable solutions within Windchill 13. Understand how Windchill 13 can bring more value in area's like CAD Data Management, Visualization, Modular Product Platforms, Enterprise Collaboration and other domains.

The design of electric machines for the automotive is a delicate balance between performance, size, efficiency, NVH and cost. In the presentation, Punch Powertrain demonstrates how it uses Ansys optiSLang to optimise the internal geometry and materials of its machines towards cost, efficiency, size and NVH while keeping in line with the performance requirements of the customer.

Ansys Fluids portfolio delivers critical enhancements that improve solver performance, increase end-user productivity, and provide new capabilities for complex applications. We will go over all about the latest updates in the industry-leading computational fluid dynamics software and provide a glance on what to expect for 2024.

How Ansys provides answers in the manufacturing process of a solar car

The Innoptus Solar Team is a group of passionate engineering students from the KU Leuven who build solar cars and race them all over the world to showcase the power of green energy. Besides promoting renewable energy & advanced technologies we also want to generate interest in STEM and encourage entrepreneurship. The design of a solar car involves many complex processes. Ansys software offers valuable solutions for all kinds of applications.

Using Ansys to optimize the strength and weight of a Formula Student monocoque by University Racing Eindhoven.

To design the lay-ups of the monocoque for the URE18, Ansys will be used to simulate the behaviour of the used composite. The main components of this composite are carbon layered with aluminium honeycomb core structures. This year, the goal is to fully recreate the simulation, validating it by using experimental data from the previous year, and use the simulation to design a low weight lay-up.

Based on 2 recent cases we will illustrate how we incorporate VR during the development of high-end and complex products. Because of this new approach, we were able to save on prototyping costs, get 1 on 1 feedback from our customers based on a VR model and get valuable user feedback as such.

Join us as we unveil the innovative ways our customers are harnessing the power of Creo Illustrate. Leveraging Creo Illustrate can dramatically enhance your visual content, making complex information more accessible and engaging for your organisation.

Effective BOM management is critical to a manufacturer's success. Everyone is aware of the 2 conflicting strategies: the single-BOM versus the multi-BOM approach. 
Does this choice has an impact on your digital transformation? Is PTC Windchill capable of handling your BOM Transformations challenges? Let's find out.

Iv-Consult is currently exploring the capabilities of Ansys Motion with respect to dynamic (fatigue) analysis. A Lemniscate grab crane has been simulated during a working cycle. This simulation gives great insight of the dynamic effects on the fatigue life of the crane.

Get in control with the 0.33mm ⌀ steerable guidewire Redwire by Demcon.

The patented steerable guidewire Redwire offers enhanced maneuverability with a one-hand controller and a tip diameter from 0.33mm. It is developed in collaboration between Demcon and Memory Metal Holland B.V.. Steerable guidewires will have a major benefit for navigating guidewires through the human body during operation. By shaping the distal end inside the body, it can easier take turns when reaching complex junctions. This behavior has multiple advantages such as better steerability, reduction of the amount of used wires, decrease of operation time and thus saving lives.

The effect of orthotropic steel on pressure hull collapse by Nevesbu

In general, for steel structures isotropic behaviour is assumed. However, when FE analysis is required to backup experiments it is essential to model the real material properties, and these can differ significantly from general accepted values. Moreover, actual properties as Young’s modulus and yield stress show different values in perpendicular directions.
Keeping the orientation in mind, orthotropic behaviour can be incorporated in pressure hull design. This will be demonstrated for a three-cylinder submarine of the Dolfijn class.
