Researchers from Ecole Centrale Lyon of France have used Actran’s Python API to extend the solver in an effort to develop new methods for predicting jet noise in aircraft.

China Motor Corporation uses Actran to reduce simulation times and extend to higher frequencies

ODYSSEE CAE reduces modeling time by 87%.

ODYSSEE CAE simplifies complex crash scenarios.

ODYSSEE CAE and ODYSSEE A-Eye analyse hood design for pedestrian impact protection in real-time

ODYSSEE CAE enables a comprehensive crash model to be run on a laptop with a run-time reduction of >95% compared to a research cluster.

The advantages of the process include faster production times and manufacturability of larger components than other comparable Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes.

However, the deformation after the DED process is enormous due to the size of the parts and the energy input during the process. The result is that the final shape of the DED parts does not match with that of the design.

FEM simulation allows the prediction of the final distortions and their compensation to obtain an optimised DED component. This saves costs, but computation time is still a major obstacle for industrial use.

More range, more comfortable handling and easier riding: Lightweight construction is also highly important for electrically powered bicycles. Krause DiMaTec and Hexagon joined forces to take on optimisation, validation, and production for bike manufacturer Xplorcycles.

Deutsche Bahn, SLM Solutions, and Hexagon joined forces to redesign a hinge for a cargo wagon and optimise the new design for additive manufacturing. The weight-optimised result generated by MSC Apex Generative Design software enables cost-efficient production through 3D printing.
