ESI Unleashes Virtual Performance Solution Version 2016
02 Novembro 2016 - 5:08AM
ESI Group, leading innovator in
Virtual Prototyping software and services
for manufacturing industries, announces the latest release of
Virtual Performance Solution (VPS). ESI's flagship software is a
unique solution allowing manufacturers to face emerging design
challenges - including those related to lightweight and green
vehicles - while avoiding over-engineering. It enables design and
simulation engineers to test rapidly their innovations on virtual
prototypes, rather than real ones, and to evaluate the impact of
real driving conditions. VPS also offers a distinctive approach,
allowing the virtual testing of product performance across multiple
domains, using a single core model. With this latest release of ESI
Virtual Performance Solution, manufacturers can predict in a more
efficient way the impact of use of composite and advanced
lightweight materials on product performance, and simulate the
vibration-induced noise.
As automotive OEMs strive to develop lightweight vehicles, they
continuously face challenges related to the introduction of new
materials, new grades, and new processes. The selection of advanced
lightweight materials, composite materials, ultra-high strength
steels or aluminums can hardly be based on existing know-how.
Rather, today's innovative multi-material strategies require a
precise understanding, and an early prediction, of the as assembled
behavior. Any level of uncertainty may lead to conservative
decisions and costly over-engineering.
Virtual Performance Solution 2016 offers new functionalities to
help OEMs tackle challenges related to the introduction of new
materials, and thereby enables them to design the next generation
of lightweight vehicles. First, thanks to new dynamic re-meshing
capabilities, the accuracy of rupture propagation after an impact
is now better captured; important as engineers investigate in
detail what happens in the crash rupture area when using new
materials and novel assembly methods.

Second, Virtual Performance Solution 2016 includes new advanced
composite crash and strength models that enable prediction of the
rupture behavior of composite parts and their capability to absorb
energy during a crash. In this new version, the accuracy of
composite structural performance prediction is importantly
increased by taking into account manufacturing effects, such as
fiber orientation, that are inherited from the composite forming
process. (For more information on this topic please see our latest
technical paper, presented at the 17th European Conference on
Composite Materials (ECCM).)
Another important challenge for car makers is meeting the new
environmental regulations aimed at reducing the level of noise
generated by cars. The European Commission recently introduced
stringent new noise limitations, which will become applicable in
2026. In the case of electric and hybrid vehicles, which are
exceedingly quiet, legislators are considering adding noise so as
to reduce the risk of collision with pedestrians.
To solve noise related problematics in an effective way, Virtual
Performance Solution 2016 offers extended capabilities for Noise,
Vibration & Harshness (NVH) and now enables the prediction of
noise radiation, combining the Finite Element Method for the
structure and the Boundary Element Method for the outside of the
car. The same single-core model is used for the complete vehicle,
which facilitates setting the correct pre-loading conditions;
mandatory to high quality prediction of structural responses. To
achieve greater accuracy, the single-core model also integrates
frequency dependency and manufacturing history, even for very
innovative and advanced materials and production processes. The use
of this single-core model for all engineering teams delivers a
drastic reduction of development cycles and costs.
With this single core model, engineers can not only perform
regulatory crash and NVH tests, they can also run virtual tests to
evaluate real driving conditions. Thanks to VPS's water flow
module, they can detect potential leakages and assess how rain will
affect driving visibility. Find out more about water management
