Electromagnetic Field Vulnerability of Complex System

In complex systems like ships or airplanes many tasks vital to the function of the system are executed by electronic equipment. Earlier research Camp (2004)– Nitsch (2005) has shown that there are frequency ranges in…

Simulating the Electromagnetic Susceptibility of Automotive Vehicles in collaboration with RENAULT

The tremendous increase in the use of electronic devices in the automotive sector is leading to hard-to-manage EMC situations. The Joint Study presented in this paper is demonstrating the ability of Numerical EMC to be…

Numerical simulation and experimental validation of guided ditching tests

The oblique water entry of structures with high horizontal speed is investigated in this work. First, the necessity of aircraft ditching analysis as well as the requirements for numerical tools to simulate aircraft…

Shielding Effectiveness Calculations for Cabinets (1 – 30 GHz) in collaboration with HUAWEI

This paper deals with the computation of high-frequency fields which penetrate into two different cabinets with two different air-flow hole shapes. The software used for the simulations is Efield® and the two different…

Effects of Manufacturing Process in Crash Simulations

This article describes an impact of a manufacturing, which can significantly change real parts behavior. The influence of technology process is neglected in regular simulations. However, advanced finite elements solvers…

Hybrid strategy to simulate millimeter-wave RADAR devices for automotive ADAS

A multiscale hybrid strategy is proposed to simulate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in both Short Radar Range (SRR) and Long Radar Range (LRR). The first development stage was focusing on small sized radar…

Aero Forming - An Introduction of Collaborative Engineering

The decrease of physical prototypes and the growing power of simulation in the design process require greater control in the design chain calculation. This is the main reason for the arrival of SDM in the perimeter of…

Collaborative development of finite element models for Honeycomb crash test barriers: Crash / Volkswagen

Deformable barriers used in car crash testing are based on aluminium honeycomb blocks covered by aluminium plates. These structures, that largely deform and tear during crash tests, represent a challenge for the…

Enhancements and validation of FPM fluid structure interaction module applied to curtain airbag deployment

Models to represent in position situations based upon uniform pressure assumptions are well established and have been used extensively in the automotive industry for more than 15 years. More recently, in the beginning…
