关于客户
法雷奥是一家独立的工业集团,完全专注于汽车行业零部件、集成系统和模块的设计、生产和销售。跻身全球顶级汽车供应商之列。集团拥有124家工厂、20个研究中心、35个开发中心、12个分销平台,在全球28个国家拥有73,300名员工。其主要关注点之一是轻量化设计,主要目标是减少二氧化碳排放并提高燃油消耗。在法雷奥照明系统 (VLS)(该公司的业务集团之一),工程师专注于头灯和尾灯的虚拟开发。
挑战
法雷奥是一家领先的汽车供应商,面临着涵盖玻璃纤维聚合物复合材料零件模型准备的广泛模拟任务的挑战。该公司专注于轻量化设计,主要目标是减少二氧化碳排放并提高燃油消耗。典型的开发过程包括模型生成和准备、实际求解、后处理和结果解释。然而,由于二氧化碳排放的监管要求以及汽车行业对更高燃油效率的整体需求,在汽车零部件开发过程中考虑轻量化问题变得越来越重要。这种轻量化设计的推动力需要车辆采用新的、更轻的材料。面临的挑战是使这些流程尽可能高效,同时保持较低的软件投资。为了持续改进,法雷奥每年都会验证其开发流程,始终寻找额外的高效工具来处理开发流程中涉及的模拟。
解决方案
Valeo 在 Altair 的 HyperWorks CAE Suite 和 CONVERSE by PART Engineering 中找到了解决方案。 Altair 合作伙伴联盟 (APA) 计划允许法雷奥使用与客户用于 HyperWorks 相同的许可单元访问第三方合作伙伴产品。这使得法雷奥中国工程师能够使用 Part Engineering 的 APA 产品 CONVERSE 来准备用于有限元模拟的增强玻璃纤维零件模型。当设计新零件时,匡威帮助他们考虑制造过程中出现的材料的各向异性特性。弥合注塑仿真和机械仿真之间的差距对于法雷奥开发团队来说尤其有价值。通过将其纳入开发过程,工程师获得了有关短纤维增强成型零件的刚度和强度的更可靠、更准确的结果。这是通过使用户能够在模制零件的机械模拟中考虑各向异性材料特性(例如纤维取向)来实现的。

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).

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.
