SIMULIA for Tire Engineering: A Comprehensive Simulation Package

Dassault Systèmes CATIA and SIMULIA (Abaqus, XFlow, CST Studio Suite, etc.) solutions are widely used in the tire industry to optimize tire performance, reduce costs and develop innovative products. The combination of design, PLM and simulation tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform means these solutions are even more powerful in combination, allowing advanced design and simulation workflows integrated over the entire tire design cycle.
This improves communication between design teams, making project data and specifications easily available to all, and allows multi-attribution optimization and decision making in order to achieve the best trade-off between the magic triangle and other variables. Cumulatively, this allows more verification cycles in same amount of time with higher confidence and increases the chances of passing SAE standards without test failures, cutting both cost and time-to-market.

Here are some of the powerful simulations that Abaqus, XFlow, PowerFlow, Simpack, and CST Studio Suite can provide in a highly efficient, unified 3DEXPERIENCE environment:

• Footprint, steady state rolling, braking, and cornering
• Impact and burst
• Hydroplaning and tire-snow interaction
• Wear/erosion
• Noise, vibration, and harshness
• Aerodynamic drag
• Vehicle dynamics
• Tire sensor design
