挑战
Andron Handling Ltd. 是一家专门从事定制机械设备设计的英国公司,正在为一家大型汽车供应商开发定制处理程序。该装卸机设计用于在狭小的空间限制内将轮组从输送机系统转移到交货托盘上。气动夹紧系统用于一次夹紧最多四个车轮,允许车轮在夹紧时旋转。面临的挑战是评估焊接结构和垂直夹紧臂在提升和夹紧负载方面的强度。在之前的此类分析中,Andron 会从模型中拆下车轮,并在每个夹臂的底部施加反作用力。然而,对于这个项目,他们需要一种不同的方法,这是以前的 FEA 工具集无法实现的。
关于客户
Andron Handling Ltd. 是一家总部位于英国的公司,专门从事定制机械设备的设计。他们的大多数系统都是一次性的,并且是为特定应用而设计的。凭借机械、电气、人体工程学和控制系统方面的专业知识,Andron 能够满足任何搬运要求。他们目前正在为一家主要汽车供应商开发定制处理程序。该装卸机设计用于将轮组从输送机系统转移到空间有限的交货托盘上。气动夹紧系统用于一次夹紧最多四个车轮,允许车轮在夹紧时旋转。
解决方案
Andron 使用 Altair SimSolid 对整个装配体进行建模。通过向四个活塞杆中的每一个施加力并对每个缸体施加匹配的反作用力来模拟夹紧力。滑动连接应用于活塞和线性轴承,以允许该力传递到模拟车轮的刚体。不需要对模型进行特殊准备;分析包括小部件,例如弹性挡圈和紧固件。对 SimSolid 默认设置的唯一修改是使用更高的质量进行自动接触检测,调整一些产生的接触条件来模拟气缸和线性轴承的滑动,并将车轮模型设置为刚体,以便分配固定质量。整个过程,包括所有设置/准备以及修复 CAD 模型中的一些错误,仅花费了 1.5 小时。

Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).

Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.
