To better tailor compactor designs to individual environments, Caterpillar has been using Abaqus FEA from Simulia, the Dassault Systèmes application for realistic simulation.
The new approach of researchers at Battery Design LLC and CD-adapco avoids the limitations of the standard approach by resolving the structure of the electrode and explicitly modeling the transport of lithium in the electrolyte and solid phases.
With a broad product range and competitive pressures, Caterpillar is increasingly relying on CAE simulation to enhance product development. One of its simulation managers is seeing the advent of stochastic simulation to further enhance that development.
To leverage composites as a key strategy in the automotive industry, a complete solution is needed that addresses the challenges of designing, analyzing, and manufacturing composite vehicles in a way that brings them to market faster and at lower cost, says a Dassault Systèmes expert.
