Though it took a frightening situation to spur Jeco Plastic Products to jump into HPC, the company has now demonstrated its ability to use HPC modeling and simulation, which has helped pave the way for lucrative projects with major aerospace, automotive and joint product development projects. Those projects include a multi-year contract with annual orders of $2.5 million during the next five to 10 years along with 15 more jobs and a capital investment of more than $500,000.

“Through AweSim we were able to model thermal properties involved in producing an injection-molded lens used for collimating LED light. With the modeling software, we were able to accurately predict a problem with the lens, and subsequently, to reduce the manufacturing cycle time by 64 percent.”

As part of a one-hour NAFEMS webinar on,  “Democratization: Accessibility,” Forrest Burney compares the benefits of simulation apps to the “cut-and-try” and vended CAE processes. Forrest also delivered a demo of a top load analysis simulation application process with cost and time-to-market comparisons.

If you would get access to the heart of development at a top Formula 1 team, chances are high that you would find they simulate their vehicle-handling behavior using Modelica models — the same holds true for NASCAR. Dymola and the Vehicle Dynamics Library (VDL) are the de-facto standards for simulating car handling in the premiere motorsports leagues. In this post, I will explain why.
