White Paper: Hydraulic Tank Optimization
Design Innovation Through High-Fidelity Simulations
Major engineering trends in recent times such as hybridization, 5G and autonomous systems are transforming products and processes in many disciplines. Take for instance mobile hydraulic systems, where manufacturers aim at reliable, efficient and yet cost-effective solutions. The predictive capabilities of state-of-the-art computational tools at real-world accuracy enable designers to understand the coherent phenomena and make a rationale-based decision in developing the systems. These physics-based simulation technologies are likely to promote collaborative product development practices between CAD, PDM and supplier management systems, and hence realize the innovation in response to engineering requirements.
The case study presented in this white paper shows how computer simulations could be used as design instruments where the explicit models of fluid and structural mechanics are critical to drawing scientific conclusions. Such virtual reality is much faster and cheaper than conventional prototyping and testing. In addition, these simulations also suggest suitable materials, appropriate tolerances and adequate manufacturing methods that would lead to the efficient management of engineering resources.
