Dimensional variation simulation is a computer aided engineering (CAE) method that analyzes the statistical efforts of the component variation to the quality of the final assembly. The traditional tol....
Casting, machining and structural simulations were completed on a V8 engine block made in Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) for use in a racing application. The casting and machining simulations generated....
Vehicle target setting is an evolving process based on continually changing internal (management, standards) and external (competitive and legal) requirements. In addition to evolving requirements, th....
Never in the history of the automotive industry has it been more critical for automakers to prove that they are capable of producing vehicles efficiently and cost-effectively. In the coming months and....
In order to meet the new and aggressive fuel economy standards, rapid development of advanced engine technologies relying upon hybrid powertrains will be critical. However, it won't be enough for manu....
This paper discusses Virtual Iteration Method (VIM) using Virtual Test Lab (VTL) to reproduce physical test to the proving ground. In general, VTL using Finite Element Model (FEM) and Multi Body Dynam....
The kinematic layout is an essential part in the early development phase of an automotive door. Apart from the door opening mechanism, the main focus lies on the synthesis of the window lifter, which ....
In recent years, the increased use of electric power steering in vehicles has increased the importance of issues such as making systems more compact and lightweight, and dealing with increased develop....
This paper presents a methodology for analyzing requirements for the Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment in order to assist the system designer at each stage of d....
