New architectures present opportunities but radical changes introduce risks that need to be mitigated using detailed up-front simulation. CAE-based analysis using nCode DesignLife enables this essential fatigue analysis to be performed for the rapid assessment of the vehicle structures.
Structural failure of the electrical systems are often associated with mountings and connections, and may be due to extreme movement between mounting points on the battery, inverter and electric motors. nCode enables advanced processing of loads data and preparation for input to fatigue analysis. Gear systems may present higher frequency failure modes which requires rotating machinery analysis to give insights on the source of different frequencies using nCode VibeSys.
