MeshWorksはあらゆるタイプのタイヤに対し、モデル作成においてその優位性を発揮してきました。ヘキサメッシュ作成において、複雑な立方体の集合や概念設計が地形や地図データの解析に活用されています。近年では、現象の空間的配置や相互関係、依存関係、発達などのルール解明にも活用されています。DEP 副社長のBasant Sharmaによると、タイヤ形状の複雑なメッシュやモデル作成は非常に面倒で時間を要する、彼は言います。小さな溝や突起部から構成されるタイヤのトレッドは、ブレーキや車両の安全性に極めて重要で、最終的なタイヤの品質に直接関わるとの見解です。さらに、ヘキサメッシュの品質は、シミュレーションの精度や実現象との比較結果にも大きく関与します、と彼は説明します。

タイヤの構造とタイヤ周りの流れは、タイヤの挙動に対し大きな影響を与えます。タイヤ設計は、夏、冬、季節風など異なる気候条件も考慮する必要があります。したがって、自動車メーカーやタイヤメーカーは、タイヤ設計の正確な仕様を入手することに尽力しています。

デトロイト・エンジニアド・プロダクツ (DEP)は、独自のプラットフォームMeshWorksを活用し、2次元解析用のタイヤモデルを作成することができます。2次元解析の結果に問題がなければ、そのまま3次元モデルへ変換することができます。タイヤのバルブ上のインフラ圧力を与える計算や、タイヤの車両負荷を与える接触面の解析などには、3次元モデルを活用します。また、ドライビングシミュレーションなどの解析にも3次元モデルが使われます。モーフィングやパラメータ化技術は、理想的な挙動を確証しつつ、タイヤの性能やあらゆる天候に対応するトレッドパターンの最適化などに対し、重要な役割を担います。

One of the most frequent and severe joint inflictions, osteoarthritis, often requires administration of a Total Hip Replacement (THR). This implant, being significantly load-bearing, requires a complex design that is strong enough to withstand long durations of load. Bone implant designs must be precise and durable in order to withstand significant load and pressure over time.

Detroit Engineered Products (DEP) effectively tackled this challenge by developing 3D CAD models for implants and building an effective fatigue evaluation model to assess the life cycle of various implants. Through its proprietary CAE platform, MeshWorks, DEP utilised unique morphing and meshing tools in order to further understand non-standard hip implant geometries. This enabled DEP to carry out hypothetical test scenarios and estimate the fatigue life of implants, which resulted in significant benefits in extending the overall life of the implants.

Virtual validation, a concept that has increasingly shifted to the forefront of aerospace design, plays a crucial, upfront role in ensuring safety and precision during the early stages of aircraft design. The virtual validation process provides engineers and product designers a comprehensive 3D visualization of a part or product in CAD and CAE. It establishes a simulated environment where engineers can run multiple tests to ensure the validity and security of their products before physically building them.

Detroit Engineered Products (DEP) offers a unique platform known as MeshWorks to assist in virtual validation and optimization within the aerospace industry. MeshWorks provides an integrated CAE platform that enables users to utilize virtual validation while optimizing workflows in the industry.

Drones aid in analysing and mapping land area to provide real-time data on soil type and health. Through the use of machine learning technology, these drones are able to identify and assess different terrain types and provide farmers with appropriate information on depths of seed planting and updates on the health of crops. This information is vital in enabling farmers to leverage their land and maximize yield production.

We are, undoubtedly, living in the golden age of technological advancement. From the internet to electric vehicles, new developments have been witnessed in various industries and the world of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones is no exception.

Over the last few years, e-commerce or e-markets have been giving tremendous competition to stores, shopping centers etc. The latest innovation which is going to be a game changer for the Ecommerce industry is the deployment of drones for delivery.

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown have put the limelight back on India’s excessive dependence on China, affecting the supply chain to a large extent. This drawback has come as a major blow to several industries, including Construction Equipment. To reduce this supply chain reliance and survive, it is imperative to become self-sufficient. Mission ‘Atmanirbhar’ launched by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, during the course of the pandemic, which was reiterated further by the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, through various schemes lays ample focus on the theme.

India is a large market with significant demand for products. Over the past few years, we have seen interest from across the globe in purchasing goods. These include products like Construction Equipment, Automobiles, electronic goods, pharmaceutical products, consumer products and home furnishing. There is a significant opportunity for India to become a part of the global supply chain. This would require more and more business-friendly policies and reforms, world-class infrastructure and availability of resources.

The manufacturing supply chain operates on a foundation built by land, natural resources, and fixed assets all of which have a high gestation period, entail high fixed costs and involve making decisions for the long run. This pandemic calls for a reset to the future of manufacturing and the B2B supply chain.

With the increasing use of autonomous machinery in our day-to-day lives, the influence of drone technology across verticals is extraordinary. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are turning out to be game changers in multiple sectors with special emphasis on defense, entertainment, agriculture, and ecommerce sectors. Their applications are known for real-time monitoring, wireless coverage provision, remote sensing, delivery of goods, photography, precision in agriculture and surveillance.

DEP’s product engineering team set out to develop an application specific unmanned aerial system (UAS). DEP’s approach consisted of designing the airframe, deterrence method, radio control & autopilot, camera, power, ground control, drive train, and pre-flight systems. For the airframe, Garuda incorporates the conventional twin propeller airplane layout rather than flying wing type, which was initially proposed. DEP also provides a comprehensive list of pre-flight system checks and failure management tips.
