Vibration Analysis Software
Description
Analyze vibration of cars: Noise levels for comfort, quality Simulation models needed; physical prototypes not practical Detailed (huge) model needed Historically, Cray supercomputers were required: Expensive Slow job turnaround Limited benefit from analysis.
New numerical algorithm: Divide and conquer Thousands of substructures Automated multilevel substructuring (AMLS) Reduction via small substructure problems Fits into industry standard software
Benefits
- Jobs run faster
- Cheaper computers can be used
- Lots of cheaper computers
- Analyst sees quick turnaround
- Broader frequency range, more analysis
- Better design (quieter cars)
- Lower cost, better product
Features
- Standard code sleeps while AMLS does? heavy lifting? and returns results
- Use of AMLS is transparent to user
- AMLS requires much less disk space & I/O
- Uses multiple processors efficiently
- Results are very accurate
Market Potential/Applications
Automotive - licensed through CDH AG (Small Public Germany Co.) to: Ford, Chrysler, BMW, Saab, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Ceat, Jaguar, Volvo, Peugeot, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Daihatsu, Mazda, and others. New markets: Aerospace, other complex structures.
