Services

Contemporary product development would be unimaginable without computer-aided engineering (CAE). A world-leading development partner in this field, TECOSIM offers more than 30 years’ cross-sector experience, highly trained specialists and state-of-the-art soft- and hardware.

Our CAE-service portfolio includes

• Structure simulation (e.g. Crash, stiffness and durability, NVH, acoustic)
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Electric and Electromagnetic simulation (EV, EMC)
• Multi-body system simulation (MBS)
• System simulation (1D)

Using our experience and technical expertise, we build trusted relationships with our customers who are at home in the mobility, energy, industry and healthcare business fields. They rely on us to bring their products to market safely and cost-effectively.

We also develop virtual validation services for industrial products and manufacturing solutions. Manufacturing industries have grown increasingly complex and interconnected due to automation and computer control. Precise and reliable modelling of these products and processes is becoming a prerequisite for all new projects.

Our team is comprised of highly skilled engineers with years of experience in BIW welding fixtures design, simulation, and planning. We are at the forefront of the industry’s latest innovations, allowing us to deliver solutions that meet the unique requirements of the automotive industry.

Design: We offer cutting-edge engineering design solutions that optimise automotive manufacturing processes, enhance productivity, and ensure high-quality welded assemblies. Our team use the latest CAD tools and techniques to create custom solutions tailored to specific requirements in the automotive industry.

Simulation: To ensure the effectiveness and reliability of our fixture designs, we utilise advanced simulation software and techniques. By simulating the welding process virtually, we can identify potential issues, validate the design, and optimise performance before any physical prototypes are built.

Planning: Our team of experts works to develop robust and detailed welding plans that cover every aspect of the process. We take into consideration factors such as weld sequencing, fixture positioning, weld parameters and cycle times to ensure seamless integration. Our goal is to streamline operations, minimise downtime, and maximise throughput while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

For two decades, TECOSIM has been an active player in the virtual benchmarking segment with its TEC|BENCH method, having already completed more than 60 projects for our customers. Engineers often use benchmarking to compare hardware from two competitors. Datapoints such as information on the materials used or the design structure, serve to determine a product’s strengths and weaknesses.

With TEC|BENCH, TECOSIM takes things to the next level: our CAE engineers use the hardware data to produce CAE models in several steps, from which we obtain valuable virtual information. This allows us to study aspects of structural mechanics and CFD which cannot be analysed without simulation. Transforming hardware into CAE models provides a direct comparison, leading to the creation of virtual design geometries. This enables TECOSIM to establish a new analysis environment and consequently a distinctive design environment, thus providing our customers a distinct edge over the competition.

Since 2022, TECOSIM has forged a collaborative alliance with A2MAC1, the world’s leading specialist in benchmarking in this segment. TECOSIM and A2MAC1 work together on creating realistic crash and NVH simulation models of electric vehicles, which can then be accessed on the A2MAC1 platform to deliver maximum quality and offer the highest standards.

The advantages of Digital Twins for Crash (DT4C) at a glance:

• Improved understanding of crash behaviour through analysis of competitor electric vehicles
• Accelerated product development and prevention of design errors or increasing costs and scope at a later stage
• Seamless integration into own workflows
• Up to 50 per cent cost savings (based on OEM customer feedback) compared to real-life crash tests
• An improved carbon balance since real-life crash tests with competitors’ vehicles are expensive and complex and leave a higher carbon footprint
• 30 years of reverse engineering experience, based on the partnership between A2MAC1 and TECOSIM

TECOSIM’s software development capabilities allow us to create custom applications that fulfil specific business needs. For example, a company may rely on our team to create a software application for organising and maintaining their records.

Our ITES team can provide the services you need to develop personalised software and ensure the programme’s viability through continuous testing, development and maintenance.

TECOSIM is a reseller of the remote visualisation software Amazon DCV (formerly NICE DCV) and thus the contact for its sales in the Americas, India and the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) region. Amazon DCV is a highly developed software solution which enables companies to view and control graphically intensive applications and desktops via the network in real time. The software can be used in numerous sectors, including engineering, media production, healthcare and financial services. Amazon DCV shows its strengths wherever large data volumes are visualised and computer-intensive applications are used.

The advantages of Amazon DCV

– Real-time visualisation: Amazon DCV offers a high-resolution, low-latency visualisation, even for challenging graphic- and data-intensive processes. Consequently, it also ensures a seamless user experience for complex applications.

– Remote access: irrespective of their geographical location, users can access virtually any device in their work environment. This improves flexibility, enabling efficient work practices for working remotely at home or while travelling.

– Efficient use of resources: as IT resources are managed centrally, data centres can be exploited more efficiently and operating costs lowered.

– Secure data access: Amazon DCV guarantees secure data transfer, which is crucial in sectors where strict security requirements are key.

How Amazon DCV can help companies

With Amazon DCV, companies do not need to invest in expensive hardware upgrades and can create more efficient IT infrastructures. Employees can access high-performance applications from anywhere, which increases productivity and makes it easier to work remotely. The software also provides heightened security as sensitive data remains on the central server and is not transmitted to local devices.
