Numerical simulation at the heart of the automotive industry

With the new regulations, the automotive industry has to constantly innovate to reduce product weight, fuel consumption and to improve product performance.
Our software meet the challenges of this ever-changing industry. They are well-known by world’s leading component producers serving the automotive industry and are already embedded in the design process to produce parts such as connecting rods, crankshafts, camshafts, drive shafts, pinions, steering knuckles, suspension arms, vehicle wheels, steering wheel, seats, etc.

Your main challenges

We help you with getting a head start in a highly competitive sector.

Case study NTN-SNR Roulements

Challenge

Validate the induction hardening simulation process for the manufacturing of steel bearing rings.

Solution

By considering the characteristics of the current generator of the induction heating system, FORGE® software provides a major asset to precisely describe the entire process.

Testimonial

« The FORGE® solution is predictive because the parameters of the generator are used as they are as input data in the simulation for predicting the metallurgical properties of the part »
