AUTOMOTIVE
SOLUTE Ingenieros has performed projects that employ finite elements calculus to develop the bodywork of their prototypes. Applied to features like: stiffness, behavior in low &high speed crashes, as well as other load cases.
Stiffness
- Static and dynamic stiffness of naked bodywork (Body in White).- Local stiffness of mobile elements (doors, bonnet, car’s rear door…) and other components (interior finishing, bumper’s recovering, etc.).
Thermal analyses
- Thermal analyses to determine the structural behavior of components at different temperatures.Low speed crashes
- Pedestrian protection (EURONCAP lower leg, upper leg, adult and child head): Estimating the injuries caused on walkers by the frontal structure of the vehicle when impact takes place.- Bumper test and AZT test. The guidelines provided by RCAR (Research Council for Automobile Repairs) are applied to quantify damages suffered in low speed impacts.
