Followings are examples how “Eco-friendly CAE”
IssueIt is required well-balanceEof rigidness, less use of steels, cruising stability for vehicle development. |
How CAE can help?CAE can solve following issues with balance:
|
Secure rigidness, cruising stability and using minimum amount of steel reduces vehicle weight.
As a result, reducing energy emission necessary to make steel. Also the vehicle will have better mileage by lightweight.
IssueBoth lightweight and rigidness are required for mobile phone development |
How CAE can help?Simulate drop test within PC.
|
Reduce the number of actual prototype for drop test then reduce wastes significantly.
IssueLight of LED does not diffuse, it is not possible to make good lighting instruments by just laying out. |
How CAE can help?Simulate LED light illumination to make diffusing light like conventional light bulb.
|
Obtain same brightness of conventional light bulb with minimum numbers of LED so that reduce the number of LED and energy consumption.
IssueComplex PCB tend to generate electromagnetic noise and might cause malfunction of circuit. |
How CAE can help?Enable to see noise generation at designing stage of circuit, then it is possible to design circuit that has low noise emission. |
Make actual prototype after designing the circuit with low noise emission, which can reduce the number of prototype for noise emission.
IssueIn order to take the balance of cruising performance, comfortableness and good mileage, it is necessary to consider combination of following elements.
Also, to secure safety, several systems such as ABS, Airbag, have to be operated appropriately. |
How CAE can help?These systems are appropriately controlled by vehicle computer called ECU Electronic Cotrol Unit. CAE technology is utilized for designing and developing of ECU. |
By performing Engine/Motor balance, turn on/off of compressor of air conditioner that will suit to cruising scene, realizing good mileage.
IssueVariability exists for every manufacturing. If allowable range for such variability (=tolerance) will be looser, quality of products will be lower and produce larger numbers of products that will not pass quality test. On the other hand, if the allowable range will be tighter, quality will increase but difficulty of assembling and processing will also be increasing, which will lower the productivity. When manufacturing office-use printers and all-in-one printers which are consisted from many precision parts, it is strictly required to have both quality and productivity. |
CAE will helpE/h3>calculating appropriate tolerance by simulating the assembled products with various parts with variability. This will enable to hold down producing disqualified product and at the same time efficiently produce high quality products. |
Reduce wastes significantly by lower the rate to produce disqualified products in mass production.
