关于客户
The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry, UK, provides a unique environment for developing cutting-edge technologies into manufacturing processes. By bringing together the UK's leading academics, engineers, and industry professionals, the MTC helps bridge the gap between concept and industry. Their members include over 80 organizations, such as BAE Systems, GKN, HP, GM, Airbus, and Rolls Royce. The MTC allows clients to develop new manufacturing processes in a safe, neutral industrial setting without the constraints of a commercial production environment.
挑战
One of the challenges of shaped metal deposition (SMD) is that thermal expansion of the molten metal can deform the cladding as it cools, resulting in a final product that is different than what was anticipated. To predict the outcome of a proposed design, it is necessary to either minimize the deformations or alter the design to account for them. This requires solving a time-dependent coupled thermomechanical analysis that predicts residual thermal stresses and deformation, which arise from SMD thermal cycles.
解决方案
The MTC has leveraged the Application Builder to more efficiently communicate complex design ideas across multiple simulation and process departments. This allows app users to easily explore the outcome of proposed designs. The app includes predefined parametric geometries and allows for custom geometry imports. It enables users to experiment with various geometries, heat sources, deposition paths, and materials without concern for the underlying model complexities. The app is currently being used by team members at the MTC who do not have the simulation experience to independently explore different parts and projects for their customers. This has freed up skilled resources and increased the availability of simulation experts.
运营影响
  • The Application Builder has enabled more efficient communication of complex design ideas across multiple departments.
  • Users can now easily experiment with various geometries, heat sources, deposition paths, and materials.
  • The app has freed up skilled resources by allowing team members without simulation experience to explore different parts and projects.
  • The MTC can now provide user-friendly app interfaces to other teams and offer an app program for their customers.
