More specifically, Aisin Seiki strongly valued the extensive possibilities of Virtual.Lab Motion to detect possible collisions between the numerous components of complex and compact systems.
To respond to the stringent comfort and safety requirement of the automotive industry, Aisin Seiki makes increasing use of electronic steering systems in the development of components, such as door opening systems, retractable hard top systems, or seat components.
Assessing the coupled behavior of electronic steering systems and mechanical components increases the complexity in meeting multiple design criteria.
LMS Virtual.Lab Motion allows engineers to define and optimize the behavior of these electronic steering systems and their interaction with the complex mechanical assembly.
Based on the specification of the control design, LMS Virtual.Lab Motion tests the controller on the virtual prototype and thoroughly simulates the complete motion range of the controlled mechanism.
Willy Bakkers, Executive Vice-President and General Manager of the LMS CAE Division commented: "Shortened development cycles and increased competitive pressure pushes Aisin Seiki to develop key components in the shortest possible time frame".
" In addition, their design and engineering teams have to optimize system designs for an increasing number of functional requirements under stringent cost and weight conditions".
