Virtual Engineering

CAD / CAM / CAE

EUVE offers analysis, design, and simulation of complex engineering problems by using software tools to do so.

Our research, innovation, and development projects in the different fields are always a result of interaction with companies in these fields.

The main objective is to create an added value in the production process and improve competitiveness.

 

The main lines of work in this area are:

• Crash simulation and Electromagnetism.
  
• This area consists of computer aided design, calculations and analysis (CAE) for fluid dynamics and fluid acoustics problems and crash simulations, but also electromagnetic compatibility and linear and non-linear structural analysis.

• Development of sophisticated CAD applications for problems with assembly, integration of CAD systems between providers and suppliers, mechanized processes, etc.

• CFD and Fire Simulation
  
• The development simulators in conjunction with the Virtual Reality department.

• Design of Equipment for disabled individuals.
  
• Design and analysis using CAD tools of systems to improve accessibility to different means of transportation for disabled individuals.

 

Crash simulation and Electromagnetism.

Crash simulations facilitate designing automobile parts that adjust to the applicable safety specifications for each case. For example, parts can be designed that don’t cause injuries to passengers when there is an accident or a study can be conducted on the deformation of the habitable space in order to guarantee the safety of the individuals inside.


Other applications of this type of analysis are designing equipment or devices that may be subject to impacts during their operational life or during shipping such as electric and electronic devices (mobile phones, computers, videos).

Simulation of electromagnetic phenomena facilitates designing electrical and electronic equipment where insulation is important, where a detailed study of their performance needs to be performed, or where the production of heat though the joule effect or loss of iron are significant.

 

Some typical examples are interference that high intensity equipment could create for electronic controls, designing of condensers, transformers, and revolving electric machines.

CCFD and Fire Simulation

Computer aided fluid dynamic analysis helps solve a number of important problems in fields like industry, construction, and environment.

For example, you can study the evacuation of heat and flammable gases in aeronautical parts.
You can also study the aerodynamic features of different types of vehicles or the wind force that a public work or building could withstand.

In the field of environment, you could simulate the spreading of contaminants in the atmosphere or in rivers.

Fire simulation can be applied to environments that vary from buildings to planes. Likewise, it is interesting to study the behavior of an aeronautical parts or automobile parts fire.

Fire simulation can be done in a very detailed manner by calculating finite volumes or can be done as an approximation in order to create a adequate virtual reality environment for training firefighters and other firefighting personnel.

Design of Equipment for disabled individuals.

CAD techniques enable you to solve a wide array of problems such as: the geometric design of machinery when it comes to shape and function; the calculation of kinematic analysis and interferences; or generating grids for complex numerical analyses such as finite items or finite volumes.

Some typical examples are the balance of building or bridge structures where it is necessary to use counterweights, the design of mechanisms such as suspensions where there are a large number of movable parts that may come into contact, or generating a grid for structural analysis.
