挑战
TRW Automotive 是全球最大的汽车供应商之一,在制动盘的设计和验证过程中面临着重大挑战。汽车制造商需要对设计方案进行虚拟和实证验证,而这些方案的成熟度通常决定新业务合同的授予。为了保持竞争力,TRW Automotive 等供应商必须提高设计和验证流程的效率。这种对效率的需求促使汽车供应商进一步利用和加快前期计算机辅助工程 (CAE)。然而,传统的 CAE 过程涉及预处理、求解和后处理的顺序方法,被证明时间太长且效率低下。必须针对每个设计概念和各种分析类型重复此过程。如果最终分析未达到性能目标,则必须重新开始该过程,从而浪费宝贵的时间。
关于客户
TRW Automotive 是一家总部位于美国的领先汽车供应商,该公司是全球最大的汽车供应商之一,被公认为业内财务表现最佳的公司之一。 TRW Automotive 为 40 多家主要汽车制造商供货,并在其所有主要产品类别中占据领先地位。其中之一是制动系统,该公司在该领域因创新和质量而享有盛誉。该公司致力于利用技术提高效率和竞争力,这一点在其制动盘的设计和验证方法中得到了体现。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战,TRW Automotive 开发了一种用于评估制动盘设计的新颖方法,该方法显着提高了分析吞吐量并加快了设计周期。他们在 ANSYS Workbench 环境中构建了一个自定义模板,该模板捕获了针对制动转子设计需求的各种分析类型。该制动转子模板自动读取 CAD 模型、施加的载荷和边界条件,并运行整个分析套件。模板方法允许同时评估热、应力和动态性能的设计。它还可以同时开发多个设计方案并对设计性能进行全面评估。这种创新的解决方案提高了自动化程度,将分析置于设计周期的前端,并允许对设计方案进行更彻底的评估。

Case Study
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).
Case Study
Monitoring of Pressure Pumps in Automotive Industry
A large German/American producer of auto parts uses high-pressure pumps to deburr machined parts as a part of its production and quality check process. They decided to monitor these pumps to make sure they work properly and that they can see any indications leading to a potential failure before it affects their process.
