The winner, Michael Bambula of the University of Florida, presented a top-notch design project, in which he achieved significant performance improvements (64.2 hp @16500 rpm) while developing a complete model for a Moto3 bike and realistic simulations that also considered the specifics...
Prediction of combustion system performance in the design stage via simulation tools can facilitate the reduction of iterations in the testing stage. Simulation tools can be used not only to predict the overall system performance for a certain set of hardware but can also be ...
ESTECO and nTopology hosted a joint webinar on 21 January 2021, demonstrating the added value of integrating nTop platform with modeFRONTIER Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) software through nTopCL to act as an unbreakable generative geometry node. This opens up new and unique...
The aim of this work, carried out as a master thesis in mechanical engineering at the University of Padova (supervisor Prof. Giovanni Meneghetti), is the optimization of filters made of ceramic material through an additive manufacturing process, called direct ink writing. The filters...
Discover how designers, engineers and managers benefit from ESTECO Technology to simplify their DESIGN&BUILD process. Using VOLTA simulation process & data management, and design optimization capabilities, they collaboratively assessed the performance of structural elements of a...
The internal flow in turbomachines is extremely complex due to the level of details of the blades, with different angles and different levels of curvature and thickness, as well as the characteristics of the channel between blades that is a direct reflection of the geometry employed,...
Shape has long been an important parameter in improving the internal comfort of buildings and reducing energy demand. Using a shape factor to reduce the building envelope and to minimise thermal loss is incorporated into the Dutch Building codes for a long time, aimed at a...
Squeak & Rattle (S&R) are undesired sounds that are caused when two components come in contact with each other. They give the user a feeling of the possibility of a quality issue. In modern premium cars, user comfort is of utmost importance and these undesired sounds must be...
Bouygues Construction R&D is exploring multidisciplinary design automation in AEC components. Specifically, this presentation describes the optimization of a floor and sketches the first benefits and challenges of this method and provide some feedback on the use of...
